RetroSketches #15

Published on June 9, 2012, by

Hope everyone is having a fun weekend! Today I have a new sketch for you based on an adorable card made by Laurie. HERE is her original card. Don’t you just LOVE the colors? Here is my take on this week’s RetroSketch. I created a clear window with a piece of acetate that I embossed and attached behind the die cut shape. I placed the same die cut shape cut from card stock inside, so that the color would peek through. This was NOT an easy card to photograph!

Hope you’ll join us HERE this week. Last week there were 112 fantastic cards submitted!!! I enjoyed seeing each an every one of them! :)
