Clear Floral Card

 Hello crafters! It is Monday and I hope you had a good weekend.

This week our theme at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog is We can see clearly now. Fun! I love to use clear elements on projects the the clear Lego pieces were always my favorites (and still are). Don't miss the lovely project by our July guest designer Natasha Vacca aka Natasha's Colorful Creations.

I have always enjoyed clear cards and thought it was time to make a new one. A fun thing with clear cards is that you can do layering in a different way, since you will see all the layers from the front of the card. I used a tag on the inside of the card, both as a space for a message, but also since it looked nice as a backdrop to the idea-ology Transparent Layer that I used on the front. 

The tag was die cut from a Tim Holtz Backdrops Vol. 4 paper, using the Framed Tags set and Watering Can ink.

I stamped the circles with brown and pink ink, using Simon Says Stamp Mix and Match Circles.

For the main sentiment I used a Quote Chip Label and glued it to the front. White paint was applied around the Transparent Layer to create a frame. It was then stapled to a folded Simon Says Stamp Clear Acetate Sheet.

On the tag, I added lace and a little cheese cloth. It also created space between the tag and the clear front, adding dimension.

The ribbon was dyed with a little Frayed Burlap.

I also stamped a sentiment on the back of the tag, visible if you turn the card around.

Clear cards are a challenge to photograph because of the reflections.
