This is for the Moos Pt. 2 swap in the category of "Bottled Up" (a small glass bottle had to be incorporated into each piece). This card is created from two atc-sized slices of mica, with all the elements layered in between or behind, for added depth. From the bottom up, the layers are: an atc-sized transparency created by scanning dp into the computer and printing it out (when the card is turned over,you really notice the pattern); a moo-sized photo frame with gold trim printed onto copy paper; a clip art fairy on a transparency; and an art nouveau border. After all the pieces were sealed together (tiny drops of Glossy Accents in the corners), I cut a window out of the mica and used a jump ring to suspend a tiny brown glass bottle, which I attached an even tinier label to. The bottle is filled with mica flakes to represent...whatever you want it to! I made one other of these cards with slight variations, too.

The hint worked, Ivy! I got this piece in my swap returns, and it is one of the neatest things I've ever held in my hands.
Thanks so much for your creative vision!
