Day Two.....

Hi Everyone....

Today is day 2 of Summer Card Camp and today we were to try and create a card using the same colors as yesterday (blue, purple, pink, orange and white) but then to also try and create a window of acetate or something similar.  I have created "frames" before on my cards but never have done a window and so was eager to try.  Actually, thought that acetate wouldn't be my thing and really scrounged around for some vellum.  I thought that acetate would be too hard to work with but after wasting toooooo much time trying to find a scrap of vellum I turned instead to a scrap of the big A.  And, I discovered that mistakes can be cleaned off acetate with a little Staz-On..so an unexpected but much appreciated lesson there!  I also am entering this card in the Penny Black Challenge to decorate the inside of a card.  I saw Jill Foster do this here  and loved the look and so thought that I would try it myself.  So, first the Summer Card Camp...

                                                        

                                                                
                                                                              

                                                     And then the inside for the Penny Black Challenge pennyblackinsides.  This was in the  Monday PB&J segment with Jill Foster.  I find that little series such a jumpstart for me.



Thank you for stopping by today.  Oh, before I forget....I used Penny Black Sparkle Stamp, PB Sentiment, Hero Arts Dictionary Clear Set, HA Bling, Glamour Dust and Distress Inks.

Now, thanks for stopping by ;-D,

Be well,
Sheila
