Ma fille est assez habille de ses mains. J'ai voulu tenter cette activité malgré son jeune âge et ça a été un vrai succès !!! Je l'ai guidé sur les premières silhouettes, puis elle s'est débrouillée toute seule sur les dernières, qui étaient forcément les plus belles :) Voilà de belles cartes de voeux à envoyer à la famille. Merci pour le tuto !!
