    Fun with Window Sheets and Rainbows for a Card

    Today I wanted to share another card I created for the Scrapyard Chicks Weekend Workshop (save 10% off your registration by using the coupon code NWstamper).  I’ll be teaching 6 different cards and I was trying to come up with designs that were fresh and a bit different than I’ve done before.  And I just love how this one turned out.

    So, you can make this card with any paper you have at home but I went for some fun rainbow colors that I punched out with a 1” circle punch and adhered to a Baked Brown Sugar cardbase.  But here is where it gets a bit different –

    We add a window sheet over the top and stamp it with White Craft ink!

    I cut my window sheet to 4” x 5-1/4” so it was a little smaller than the front of my card (and more efficient for cutting up your 12×12 sheet that they come in from Stampin’ Up).  I laid it over my card front and then stamped each flower using the Mosaic Madness stamp set on top of each circle and the White ink.  Then I stamped the “and I’m so very grateful” on the card base itself in brown ink.  I found it useful to stamp the “inside” sentiment first because then I could stamp the window sheet just above that brown stamped image.

    Finally, I glued down my window sheet and hid my adhesive by wrapping white baker’s twine around the top of the window sheet.  Add some tiny pearls in the middle of each flower and you are done!

    Tip:  I found that using the White Craft ink on the window sheets take a really long time to dry.  So the sample above is using White craft ink, but for my class I’ll be switching out for White Stazon ink instead!
