   THEME: WINDOW or APERTURE CARD

Don't you love that clear plastic sheet that has a rippled pattern on it? A friend had saved these flimsy clear sheets from some medical materials and gave them to me. Happy Day! I love it when I upcycle.

Santa was good to me last Christmas and brought me some wonderful dies. I do have a couple snow globe dies, but I really like the size and framing on this globe. I think this deer is going to be a favorite of mine as it dons the front of the card and another sits on a snowy hill inside the card.

When you don't know what to do with the front of the card, embossing can be the solution and I thought falling snow fit the ticket on this card.

I used Distress Oxides in Broken China, Salty Ocean and Faded Jeans on the inside panel of the card, spritzed with water and popped the reindeer in the same position as the reindeer on the outside of the card with a couple small glue dots.    I still had a couple  snowbanks (also used on the outside of the card) and tucked the largest one just under the hooves.  It'll be a nice place to sign your name. 

Supplies:

Poppy Stamps Snowglobe Kit craft die

 World Wide Open Design Team Challenge

I found myself falling in love with this antique car and the cute couple sitting therein.  They look like they're ready to enjoy the highway and wonderful spring weather.  I used Copic markers and made a couple mistakes on the car and so had to deepen the colors and also some places I would have wanted to have more shine.  But I really do like this little card and the couple tootling along in it.

The challenge runs from April 15th through May 12th, Sydney Time Zone 7:00 a.m. or if you're in California, like me, The challenge starts on a Wednesday, April 14, at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Daylight.

Open That Window With Poppy Stamps

My inspiration card for Die Cut Divas' opens a window into winter with warm wishes and a stylized reindeer.  The sponsor for April is Poppystamps, a line of stamps and craft dies from the creative people at Memory Box!   

Poppystamps is offering a $20 gift certificate to the winner!

   THEME: WINDOW or APERTURE CARD

Those are NOT smudges on the front panel, but LOADS of Wink of Stella. You know how difficult it is to photograph sparkle and shine. I was going to open the window all the way through to the inside of the card, but realized I'd have NO room at all to write a note inside. The snowflakes and reindeer are under the clear embossable Window Plastic. The "warm wishes" sentiment is atop the window plastic.

I hope you can see the sparkle and shine on my card from this angle below.
