I made this train template back in the summer for a card for my friend's little boy. Earlier this week I was thinking about it and thought about making it into a Christmas train. When I saw the DCM dare this morning I thought it was the perfect opportunity to use the template again as Tracie asked us to do some handcutting. This card took a fair bit of handcutting and it took ages to make! It was great fun though!
Here is the dare:
This week its Tracie setting the dare and it is to make a card and CUT!
Any theme goes, so for those of you needing a break from Christmas crafting this is the perfect opportunity to have a change. All styles are welcome but there MUST be an element of handcutting somewhere. It could be a greeting, a shape, letters printed on your pc and handcut, anything goes as long as you did it by hand.
