It's Christmas Day 2011

Wishing you all a Happy Christmas.  

I thought I would show you a Christmas Card I made that was a little bit different to what I had been making.  It started life as a birthday card for someone and then I thought about it and made a couple of Christmas cards in a similar way.  It probably needs working on to get it to be the perfect card.

Basically it is a card with a circular aperture cut out, with acetate behind it that has been alcohol inked.
Displayed so the light shows through the acetate.

I need to work on this some more and think outside the box a bit.  I am sure some of you out there can already do this.  I have left this so that when the recipient displays this card the light (hopefully) shows through the acetate.  I did think of adding pieces of thin cord in a "web" or stamping some background on the acetate but time did not allow for such experimentation.  Perhaps now that the Special Day has arrived there will be more time.

Perhaps some of you out there have had enough of the tinsel and turkey and you might give this a try adding your own special twist to it.  

Have Fun!  But before I go may I thank all of my followers for being there through thick and thin - watch out for a give away in the New Year.  And to everyone God Bless as where you are.
