Welcome to another la-la land club kit post. Today I'm showing you my projects made with May club kit. This kit is all about carneval.

You can get your club kit too if you subscribe to la-la land club HERE!

 I made two cards with this set. First card features Marci with heart Balloon. Image was fussy cut by hand and coloured using Distress ink pads. Papers used are from Echo Park and Doodlebug.

The second project is a CAS card where I used Carouse Horse die. I cut out one from white cardstock and glued it down directly to the yellow paper. Then I cut out another one from glitter paper and only used the horse and added a few foam pads under it to get some dimension.
