Today our hostess at Addicted to CAS is the super talented Christine. She has chosen as her code word 'Transparent'
This was a challenge for me! However, after blog hopping and visiting Pinterest a few times I eventually came up with this:
(hover over the image and click on the pin to save to pinterest)
I have used CAS-ual Friday stamps plus a few stickers I found in my stash. I do love how this turned out. I got the idea for the transparent front after seeing this card from Anita. And I loved this card from Lynn and that inspired my design. If you are stuck with a challenge just have a little hunt around blogland and inspiration will soon come (well, not always!)
Our DT have really come up with some great and varied ideas. Take a look here and don't forget to visit their blogs and leave them some love!
And this week Nicecrane Designs are offering our winner a $20 gift voucher to spend in their fabulous store.
I am looking forward to seeing what you create and visiting your blogs.
I am also entering this into the Whimsical Challenge at Festive Friday
Enjoy your day x
You SHOULD love how it turned out. It is absolutely stunning!! xx
