i started with kazan's lovely sketch #66 from 2S4Y this week...
i started with kazan's lovely sketch #66 from 2S4Y this week...
i added in the design dollies' current fab color combo of baby pink, grass green and white... (ok, admittedly i have a couple shades of pink and not MUCH green, but still...)
i grabbed my favorite recent purchase, this awesome pink snowflake transparency...et voila:
(transparency: hambly; fabric poinsettia: imaginisce; snowflake dies: nestabilities; metal & bead snowflake: jolees; bling flourish: oriental trading co; chipboard letters: ki memories; ribbon: michaels; spray ink: glimmer mist; crepe paper: from the party store; adhesives: tombow monorunner, sewing machine, otc brad) here's a gratuitous second shot that shows how the inside is completely transparent. i love that look! making clear cards never stops being sort of magical to me! :) (but yeah--i will stick a little panel of patterned paper in there...under the poinsettia/snowflake thingie...on which to write a festive greeting!)
now i just need to make like 49 more...easy peasy mac-n-cheesy* right??!?!?! :) :) :)
*my friend trish said this in an email recently and it made me spit out coffee and nearly choke to death laughing. dontcha just LOVE IT when that happens??! :) (btw, is anyone else craving macaroni & cheese now? yeah, me too!)

I do love a transparent card! And the colors are so very 'Lauren-y' - not the typical red and green ho hum stuff!
ReplyDeleteObviously, you've never seen Meet the Robinsons. The 'bad' guy says Easy Peasy Rice and Cheesy - which made me laugh - and then the boy picked it up and I heard it like six hundred times in two days. It's not so funny any more!
I just love visiting your blog - it's always such a treat to see your creations. This one has my jaw dropping - what an amazing card. I struggle with transparent cards and this one now is going into my inspirational links :) Have a fabulous day xx
ReplyDeleteHoly peppermint patties!! This is incredible. I love all the pinkiness, and the touches of red and green. And the snowflakes and the zebra print and the bling and the stitching and the ruffles. Do you need my address for your Christmas card list????
