JB2504: It Came Upon a Midnight CLEAR

This fortnight at Jingle Belles we're asking you to make a holiday card that contains at least one see-through element. It can be a glass embellishment, an acrylic transparency, some vellum, acetate or "ghost" shapes, clear stickers, lucite buttons, shrink plastic... whatever you like. If you can see through it (AND figure out how to attach it to your card!) put it on there and link it up!

Here's how I was CLEAR-ly inspired this week:


I still have a fun little stash of the late great Hambly Screen Prints transparencies, which are so thick and sturdy you actually can make a card base out of them and build your entire design on top. Fair warning: however well a transparency card comes out IRL, it will be VERY hard to photograph (as you can see) but other than that, I'm pleased with this one. I used nearly an entire sheet of Hero Arts' Holiday Messages Rub-on Transfers and three out of four ancient dimensional snowman stickers from the big box store. I added a diecut panel inside the card (see below) for writing on, but realized belatedly that the front is so transparent, I might add another panel to the back of the card and add my personal greeting that way. 

Head on over to Jingle Belles to see Stephanie's beautiful card and start planning what you'll link up with us this time. JB2504: It Came Upon a Midnight CLEAR runs until 6pm (EST) on Wednesday, February 26th.
