...should hire interior decorators. This acetate card is for Teapot Tuesday challenge. Our teapot was a glass teapot with nothing on it at all. Last year we sent a BDay card to a very special lady. Miss Eula celebrated her 108th Birthday. Well here we are 1 year later celebrating her 109th Birthday. The card looks way better in real life as it's very difficult to photograph a clear card. Add to the acetate rhinestones and the thing flashes like you wouldn't believe!
The chandelier is a Crafty Secrets stamp to which I added crystal. Inside it says "Happy Birthday, you light up a room"

What a terrific "glass" card for Eula, complete with bling for a really festive celebration. I think you did a great job in photographing it, Elizabeth...I can imagine how hard it was to capture.

I can certainly see all the wonderful glitz and sparkle. Wonderful idea for this challenge - I could not figure out how to do a glass house but you certainly succeeded.

I am oooohing and aaaahing your most gorgeous and elegant card, Elizabeth! It reminds me of a display in a jewelry store I saw in New York some years back. As I looked in the window of the store, I saw that there was a beautiful chandelier hanging over this glass cabinet filled with all sorts of sparklies and it just reflected so perfectly! And, your card brought that vivid memory back. All I can say is wow - and once again you have proven how talented you are at designing and creating beautiful cards!
