For a jigsaw lover

When you make a card for a jigsaw lover ,what could be more fun than a jigsaw card. I did feel like I was cheating somehow not sending a completed card but the recipient loved it. 

I used precut  blank jigsaw pieces and created a base design which I coloured then die cut a sentiment and glued it in place,once dry I dismantled the pieces snipping the sentiment where necessary. I created a frame that would fit and hold the completed jigsaw so it could be displayed as a card .
