Hide and Seek

The very talented Jozza's turn to dare all of us this week;
This week, the dare is hide and seek. I would like to see a hidden message or element on your cards. For a double dare, include both!

Normally, I make WYSIWYG cards (what you see is what you get) so this was a real challenge this week and it seemed to take ages to get any ideas, but eventually, I made this;




Paper and chipboard is Sassafras Lass, October Afternoon and Doodlebug rub ons Scenic Route papers and Bazzill cardstock.
