Totally Transparent - Our Creative Corner

Hi everyone,

Sorry for my late post .... it is another creative challenge over at Our Creative Corner, and this week we have Marjie Kemper hosting. Marjie is a fabulous crafter and she has a super fun challenge for us ... it is "Totally Transparent", and this is what Marjie has to say:

"Transparencies come in all sizes, from tiny tags to full 12X12 scrapbook overlays. They can be written on, stamped, inked, painted, misted… the sky’s the limit. You can also use your clear packaging material… recycling is always a good thing!"

So for my card I tried embossing - and it worked really great:

And, this is the inside:

Yep ... very plain and simple.

I hope you join us over at Our Creative Corner this week - but in the meantime, check out how the Design Team have used transparencies in their creations this week!

Have a great week, and thanks for stopping by!

Tui, what a clever idea of how you used your transparency! I love it! and your christmas stocking is the cutest little thing! Great card! and your font inside is very pretty!

Love your card, Tui! The embossed acetate looks great with all those subtle snowflakes and you follow it through with the gorgeous snowflake on your Christmas stocking. How cool to see right through it to your beautifully stamped and blinged message. Terrific job!

Wow Tui, what a magical card!!! I actually thought it was the light playing on the acetate, but then I saw the embossing!!Just beautiful. I love red and white. I played with my stocking set this w'end gone by and had so much fun!!! Beautiful and brilliant darl'n.
