AAA Cards and Crazy 4 Challenges

I have, for the first time, made one card for two challenges!   The first is AAA Cards 'Theres a hole in my card'  and Crazy 4 Challenges, anything to do with vision and eyes.





 
 

I cut the spotty paper (which is my favourite at the moment) to fit just smaller than my card, then stitched round with my sewing machine.  I have recently purchased some vellum paper, after seeing so many people make great use of it on their cards, I had to use it straight away, of course.  I cut a tag in glitter paper  and a matching tag in vellum.  I then cut the stars, for my holes challenge, in the vellum tag.  After attaching the cool glasses, for my vision challenge, I attached the tag to the card and added the sentiment banner.  Really pleased with the colours on this card and in love with vellum and glitter paper!
