New Clear Cards

I now have the Summer 2010 idea book . The Clear Cards are my NEW FAVE . They really create a visual impact like nothing else.The whole idea for me is to produce intrigue . I get excited deciding what to reveal, by creating areas that overlap and partially cover the card . I made sure that what went on the front of the card was smaller than the inside of the card, so that some of the papers from the inside show . I used K and Company ornaments (thanks Julia!) on both cards alongwith papers from Key to my Heart.

The ribbon and button embellishment "float" alongside the image on the front of the card. To get this look, I punched holes in the clear card and wove ribbon through the holes. I added buttons with liquid glass.

The textured stickers from Close to my Heart also "float" over edges and between layers because of their clear background.

The cards are 4 1/2 inches scallop round , or square, and come with transparent cello envelopes!
