JAI #366 Just add A

Hello there,
it's Friday and that means its time for a new Just Add Ink challenge. This week Tina has asked us to Just Add A. This means that you need to add something that begins with A as the main focus of your project - it could be an animal, material, technique or fold. For example, ant or apples, acetate or an accordion fold.

I decided to add acetate and make a window in the front of my card.

Well this was tricky to photograph, especially in mid winter light :( I also had trouble getting rid of all the stray embossing powder speckles even with throughly dusting the acetate with my powder pal before embossing. So I tried some distraction by adding white gel pen dots to the inside - it works - from a distance. Aside from those issues this turned out ok. I played around with adding the sentiment on the inside in exactly the same place so that when the card is closed the white sentiment on the front has a slightly offset black shadow. One thing to remember when you make a card like this is that because of the acetate window you are going to see the back side of whatever you stick on the front of it. So to make it tidy you need to cover that all up on the inside with matching die cuts (you can kind of see that in the last picture).

Our 'letter' challenge are always fun and the Just Add Ink team have lots of fun inspiration to get you going so do go check them all out!

Thanks for visiting,
Kim
