Holiday Cactus

I decided I'd try something a little bit different this time - using washi tape to create a frame!


I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Doodle Pantry - Anything Goes

Glitter n Sparkle - Add Some Red

I have used a square card blank for this card.  The image is from Doodle Pantry and is called Holiday Cactus.  I printed out the image twice, coloured with copic markers and then cut out the flowers and baubles only from the second image.  I then used mount tape to 3D these over the first image.  The flowers were a bit tricky to figure out what the top was after you cut them but I got there in the end! I then applied some washi tape (actually I think it might be Trendy Tape but basically the same thing!) around the edges to create a border.  Simple but effective.
