Week 38 - Polkadoodles - something hidden inside

As you probably all realise I love the new

Polka doodles Cd Sundae of Seasons.

 It's my turn to set the team challenge this week!

I'm looking for a hidden element/ something inside.

I have created my card using one of the very

lovely Papermanis mini aperture Box card kits.

It's tiny compared to my usual A5 card at

only 10cms x 10cms.

But I really enjoyed this dinky project.

The only addition to the images from the cd are

Doodlebug orange velvet brads

2 eyelets and lush Laura Ashley ribbon (Thanks Keryn!)

and some crackle glaze.....

So what are you hiding this week?
