Circle Framelits Menorah Tutorial

Here is a card for my Jewish friends. I wanted to create a punch art menorah for a workshop sample, so I set out to experiment with punches. Well my punch idea didn't work out, BUT the circle framelits did. So while it wasn't exactly what I was expecting, I think the card turned out pretty well. I tried to make the menorah as authentic as possible. You'll have to let me know if I did it justice.

Step One

1. Start with an 11" x 4-1/4" piece of card stock. On the long side, score at the 5-1/2" mark. Fold the card stock in half along the score line to create the card base.
