craft meet challenge

At our craft meet on Sunday(12 April) we were challenged by Patsi and Sara, to make a springy card for a man which was our theme for the meet, using, backing paper, 2 brads black or brown and a die cut. Everything had to be done from scratch and we had 1 hour to make it.


The criteria changed slightly as we only had 1 template for the group, to a card shape that we wouldn't normally make.
here are our efforts



we all managed to meet the challenge
