You're never too old by Sharon Caudle

 Hello AI Fans!

I have a card to show you today that I made for Challenge #425 I See Right Through You. What a fun challenge!!! I want to apologize for the glare on the pictures from the acetate I used. I tried everything and just couldn't remove them. I am NOT very proficient with the tech side of things. LOL! But the card looks pretty cool in person. To make the front, I actually just used one of my cover plates that has a thin frame around it. I cut two of them and sandwiched a piece of acetate between the two pieces. I mean...could it get any easier than that?? I then cut the back of the card making it just 1/4" wider and scoring it at 1/4" to glue to the inside of the front. For the fun Rockin' Granny from #5422 Rock On Laugh Lines, I started by stamping her in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and coloring her with Copic markers which are listed below. I then fussy cut around her so I could place her onto a mini wobble. I mean...a Rockin' Granny needs to be on a wobble, don't ya think? LOL! In order to place her onto the card, I needed a base panel, so I used #5726 Nested Circle Dies and #6045 Scalloped Circle Dies. I cut a set in the same size for the front as well as the inside. 

After adhering the mat to the front of the card, I die cut another white scalloped circle mat and glued it to the inside to hide the adhesive you could see through the acetate. This just gives a cleaner look. I then took the purple scalloped circle and lined it up with the inside white scalloped circle. I added adhesive to the back of it, then just closed the back of the card on top of the purple mat. That assured it would be aligned perfectly with the front and not show through when the card is closed. 

After adding a cute bow to the front and stamping the sentiment on the inside panel, this one was done. So that is it for me today! Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit, and until next time - stay crafty!!
