When you submit things for publication, you work about six months ahead.....so that's why it is "spring" right now when there are actually a couple inches of snow on the ground here in Minnesota! Definitely wishful thinking on my part.
Our DT challenge for November from The Stamping Studio was to use transparencies. Challenge is the optimal word in that sentence!! Wow, I made a lot of mistakes trying to come up with just three projects that didn't look like a 4-year-old did them (not that there is anything wrong with what 4-year-olds create under the appropriate condition).
I used a combination of clear transparencies and thicker acetate to make these little beauties.
Project 1 is a spring tag made from thick acetate:
Project 2 is a shaker card.........it's been a long time since I made one of these!!
Project 3 I used a flower that was made from a transparency:
