Place your bets!


This is the second card in a set of 5 for the same lady. She is not a gambler at all but recently had a little flutter for a bit of fun and had a big win!! So this card is from her brother who wanted to incorporate her win in the card:) I decided to have a go at making an aperture card when I saw the challenge over at House Mouse and friends Monday. I did make it the hard way, it was definitely a learning curve lol but I got there in the end. I made it look like the little mouse is writing out his betting slip:)
