After watching a video my friend, Karen, made for Stencil Sunday at Stamplorations Blog, I ordered some supplies to make the floating easel card. But I couldn't wait until they arrived and did some improvising. For a first attempt, I'm fairly pleased.
The Santa stamp was a freebie from Quick Cards magazine. I used Staz-On ink to stamp the image on the front of the acetate and then colored it with markers on the back. The die cut for Believe is from Sizzix. Papers are by Bo Bunny. Sentiment stamp, acetate (half of a clear card I purchased ages ago) and gold glitter tape are from CTMH. The snowflakes on the front are Dazzles. Looking at the photo, I may try (?) to move one so they don't appear to be in such a straight line.

Lovely card Debi. I have never seen an easel card done with acetate before but it gives it such a different and interesting look. Personally I like the snowflakes how you have them.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful Debi, what a great idea to add the acetate window! I love that you can see through to the sentiment when the card is closed. The Santa image you used is fabulous, and I like the addition of the little snowflakes. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteCheers,

The acetate with the coloured Santa and deer looks great - a sort of whimsical look. Thank you for joining us at The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge xx Lynda DT
ReplyDeleteNow you've said about the snowflakes being in a line, I can see what you mean - being random is so difficult! - but I really wouldn't have thought that if you hadn't said! I think this looks spectacular. Thanks for joining in at Inkspirational Challenges.
