  My card this week took me back to my school physics lessons – that’s a long time ago!   It seems that I do have a need to know about series and parallel circuits after all 😊 .   I did have to get some assistance from Mr L until I got my eye in.   If you do not have your own Mr L, there are some great YouTube tutorials to assist you. To begin with, I made a scene to light up using critters from Lawn Fawn Upon A Star and ink-blended a night sky using Distress Oxides.   The lit element was to be 3 stars so I die-cut the shapes and then traced the holes onto another piece of card the same size as my topper.   I applied self-adhesive copper tape to form the circuit and made a push switch using a piece of card wrapped around the battery.     The LEDs are self-adhesive from Chibitronics and just need to be firmly stuck onto the copper tape. Top tip from Mr L: If you’re using more than one LED, the circuit needs to be a parallel one, otherwise the ...
