October Technique

 Hello crafty friends 

this week at 52 Christmas card throwdown

it's technique week 


this is my card 


who doesn't like a quick make, for this card I used craft consortium 3d decoupage set called made by elves 

this was a quick card to make the sheet is already die cut so it was just a case of putting on some foam tape and putting it on top for the 3d effect unfortunately you can't really see the 3d on the picture 

I hope you like it
