Happy Thursday! I can't believe that we're headed towards another weekend already! Oh my...how time does fly (too quickly for me! LOL!).
Well, I finally had a chance to play today and create this card to share with you all. I was really inspired by Joke's bonus sketch over at 2 Sketches 4 You this week:
Also, Carla, another member of the Fall 2 Sketches 4 You design team, posted a fabulous clear card tutorial on her blog as well as a challenge so I was inspired by her to create a clear card, too! And if that's not enough, I wanted to make a shaped card for the challenge over at Card-a-licions this week so this is what I created for all three challenges:
Thinking of You Card
Patterned papers: October Afternoon
Glittered chipboard alpha: American Crafts
Mini alpha stickers: Making Memories
Jewels: Prima
Ric rak: May Arts
Ribbons: Michael's
Other: Zig pigment pen
In the second photo, I hope you can see that I covered only the left side of the front part of the card with paper, added the smaller scallop circle on top and embellished it. I adhered the right half of the paper to the bottom part of the card base. Having the patterned papers on different layers of the card makes it look more interesting and fun, too! :)
Tomorrow is Friday!!! YAY! Although I know that it isn't the first Friday of the month yet, I'll be posting a new Freebie Friday RAK tomorrow! I hope you remember to come back then to check it out! :-D

Ok, this is seriously gorgeous! Gorgeous! And I'm impressed that you tackled three challenges in one. In all my card-making, I've yet to make a clear one. You make it look so easy! Love the paper on different layers. Love this!

Oh, WOW.....I just love this card!!! First of all I love the clear card, how you cut out the little flowers out of the paper, and what a fantastic combination of papers!!! Stunning as always!!

What a magnificent card! Great color combo and I just love how you used the transparency. The scalloped effect adds that extra touch to it to make it that much more special. The layers are another added bonus. What a great look!

Christine, these 2 clear cards are just beautiful. I love them both, but I think my fav is the flower card. Did you cut these yourself or did they come precut?

wow - this is beyond words of awesomeness! I just love everything about this! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!
