This card is for Crafty Secrets challenge, anything but a 41/4x51/2 card. ("Variety is the Spice of Life"). Well I took this to heart and not only is the card 51/2x51/2 but I constructed it with mylar. The challenge was photographing a totally see through card that flashes off the shiny surface and add that to lots of glitter and rhinestone stars.....a photoghapher's nightmare! The card base is mylar, the image is white on the back and there is an identical die on the back page with sentiments and images on both inside panels. The cupid and moon are glittered. the ribbon is silver metalic and the rolled rose is of the same ribbon. I attached 3 stars to wires and if you look closely at the centre they are projecting from the bow. The image is coloured with copics.
This is for my niece's graduation and inside it says "may all your dreams come true"

Very cool!! And yes, a photographers nightmare, but you did very well in capturing the look and see through-ness of this card! I'm wondering though, what you are calling mylar, is that what I would call acetate?
