Hello Birdy

Good Wednesday Morning! It is supposed to be a bit cooler today (high 90's-low 100's) and I am so glad! I am one of those crazy people who likes hot weather, but today will be the 10th day over 100! Over on SCS the Dare to get Dirty challenges started this morning and Krystie's challenge for everyone was to use something clear on her card. It could have been clear cardstock/acetate, clear embellies or anything else that would be considered clear. For my card, I cut a piece of acetate 4 1/4 x 6 and scored it on the left side at 1/2". (this will become the card front). For the back of the card, I cut the blue gingham check cardstock to 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2 and folded to create the inside and back of the card. I sandwiched the 1/2 portion of the clear card front between the open edge of the gingham card. After you make the sandwich, you should have a clear card front, gingham inside panel and the back of the card is also gingham. (you won't see any adhesive this way) I then stamped and colored the birds with Copics. I needed to extend the wire that the birds are on, so I went over the lines with my Black Spica pen. I know, my instructions are about as clear as mud, I will work on a tutorial today if I get the time. For the front panel of the card, I cut and stamped a piece of yellow gingham cardstock and then wrapped/tied the ribbon around it. I attached this to the outside front of the clear card. On the inside front of the clear card, I attached a solid yellow panel to cover the adhesive from the yellow gingham panel. Now, I am off to work on Jen's tag challenge.

Hugs,
