I got the idea for this card from a webisode called Simply Ann. I liked the idea so much that I copied a couple of parts from it (the acetate and the window). This card takes a little time to do but it's worth it.
I wanted to make a card for my sister who lives in New York State. I wanted to do a travel theme because we live so far apart.
To start I decided on a 6 1/2 x 5 card base out of white cardstock. I measured some acetate and cut it with about 1/4 inch so that I could bend it back and attach to the back of my card later. I love working with acetate. There is so much that I can do with it like making shaker boxes, stamped designs for overlays, tinting it with alcohol inks.
I started work with my main card by covering it with paper from Graphic 45's Come Away with Me collection. It fits perfectly with the travel theme.
I covered my card and then used the photo card die to cut the center out. Then I glued this cut out to the inside of my card using the cut out as a guide.
I decorated each layer so that there was a surprise when you turned the page.
Layer One (the cover):
Layer Two:
Layer three:
Close Up!
Aren't these little icon people fun?
I love the flower and leaf dies! One die and several sizes of flowers and leaves! Grand!
I can think of so many uses for the light bulb!
One last thing I did was to take a plain white ribbon and use Distress Stain (Salty Ocean) on it. I dyed the ribbon, dried it and it came out beautifully.
I hope you enjoyed my three layer card! Thanks for stopping by! Lis
