Flower Soft in Heather

I created a Tepee for her and her cub. The tepee was really pretty easy to create, using the Spellbinders Nested Lacey Pennants, Vellum paper, Copics and Ribbon.

To create the tepee, cut out 3 of the Lacy Pennants and color with copic markers. Glue them together, leaving an opening, add the ribbons for the door. For the bottom, I cut one Spellbinders Nested Pennant and glued on. Then I added flower soft glue and sprinkled flower soft in Heather for the floral effect.
