This was pretty tricky to do, but oh so much fun! Since I am hooked on these ATC cards, that is what I used for this challenge. Details....
I took my small card and stamped itty bitty bg with versa mark on the front panel and then clear eb it. I then brayered citrus over top, making my own dp. I cut out the window, a little too soon, because it was a still wet from all the brayering. So it looks a tiny bit distressed.
On a piece of acetate, I stamped my image with stazon, flipped over after it was dry, and colored it using diamond glaze and re-inkers. Let this dry, then glued it to the back of my cut out window panel. I also cut the flower petals so they could extend to the front of the card.
I added a piece of card stock to make this a tri-fold type card as I read in Andrea Walford's blog. This way you can either have the sentiment show through the window, or not. I chose not. But if you were to look inside it would read: Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. By Picasso. I think I was drawn to this sentiment because it mentions dust, something I have a lot of since I have been doing all these challenges!!! LOL....and I have a DH who loves to swiffer! Oh Well!
That's all for now......TFL :0)

Hi Cathy, I've been so looking forward to seeing what you made today for this challenge and of course your little card is so very beautiful! I love how the flowers are overhanging the frame. Your own made dp is wonderful and the sentiment is lovely. I like how you made it tri-fold too and the colours are stunning. One perfect acetate card. Know what you mean about the dust, you should see my hovel LOL!!! Hugs,
