This card didn't really start to work for me until I had a specific person in mind to give it to. I knew right away I wanted the slider to reveal a stained glass window image but I had to figure out how to do that and how to protect the image since I wasn't going to back it up with CS.
I used two sheet of acetate sticky taped onto a back layer of CS which you cannot see when you open the slider. The front image is the glittered Winged Things butterfly while the layer behind it has flowers from Crafty Secrets to form the garden the butterfly is flying by. This technique took a long time. I used a 3/4" hole punch and would really recommend a large size because then my eyelet didn't fit in that space. I smudged black ink on it, I have at least ten things I would do differently next time around, but it was a great learning experience. And because of the DP I wound up using a color combination I never would have put together on my own. Thanks for looking.
