cas-ual fridays 57
It's Friday folks and that means only 1 more week of school before we break up for the summer! Can. Not. Wait! Fridays also mean it's time for a new challenge from CAS-ual Fridays and this week we have a theme of "Clear as Day" - get out your vellum and acetate stash and lets see what you can do!
This week we are sponsored by the sweetest lady - Karolyn Loncon who I might is giving away 6 yes SIX
stamp sets that she designed for Paper Smooches. Here's the sets she designed:
Dapper
Debonair
Geo-Graphic
Hip to be Square
Houndstooth
Potpourri
Now it just so happens I have the Geo-graphic set so wanted to include that on my card today. I paired it with my favourite turtle from Party Posse and a sentiment from Sentiment Sampler. Here's my card.
Now I'm not totally sure if you can see or not, but the card base is made from acetate - this is the first clear card I've ever made! I added the Geo-graphic border on front of the acetate with the turtle on that flap too. The patterned paper is adhered to the inside of the back of the clear card. I hope that makes sense!
Check out the rest of the girls to see how they incorporated vellum and acetate into their designs:
Michele Gross - The Boss
Christina MacLaren
Dana Seymour
Debby Hughes - that's me!
Gayatri Murani
