More fun with matte-finish acetate . . .

 

It does take more time make these because of the sheer window.  That means the back of the design has to be covered with the same die cut in order to give a finished look.  If the die cut image isn’t symmetrical, it’s the front of the second die cut that will need to be glued down in order to match the design.  Coloring the design with wet ink plumps up the edges of the watercolor paper so the back of the die cut no longer looks like the back.

Lastly, the message area will be visible through the window on the card front.  So adding a matching panel that opens to reveal the message is a quick and easy step to do.  Here’s a photo of the inside of my card . . . what looks like glue ooze on the back of the window is actually glitter.

 I don’t mind taking the extra time because I absolutely love making window cards!
