This boy is going to discover the world with his backpack and his tent, I used acetate to make the tent base a sheet of 28/12 cm scored at 1, 9 and 18 cm, the 1 cm is to glue, I took a sheet of white printpaper (heavy paper 160 gr) and colored with alcohol markers then dropped some drops of alcohol to blend the colors, I made the faux stitching with a fine writer, I glued a piece of net behind the tent cover and glued the camouflage onto the acetate base, the bottom is covered with green linen the boy is fussy cut in 3D the bunnies are fussy cut too, and don't worry it can flat so no problems to send it to one of my Teapotters friends

Oh my gosh, Anita. I know people use the word "amazing" a lot around here, but this time it is justified. This is so clever and creative. Love everything about it, including the netting and the scale -- the boy is the perfect size for that tent.

Wow, wow! This is brilliant. I looked at it this morning on my phone and read your description twice, but I wanted to wait till I could look at it on the computer before leaving a comment. Your tent is absolutely amazing. And I'm glad to see that your little camper has a backpack too. I love all those little rabbits. What a treat it will be for whoever gets tickled with this fun card.
(My photos are a campsite near Lac Chambon, which probably won't mean anything to anybody other than you so I didn't mention it).

Oh Snietje you are truly the Queen of Folds. This is over-the-top-spectacular magic!!!!! It looks like you had heaps of fun making this. Image a lucky Teapotter receiving an envelope post marked from France.....and knowing this gem is awaiting them!!! You are a very talanted Chickie. Being a grandma obviously suits you!
