Apologies for the awful photo - bright sunshine and acetate don't mix well but I'm thankful for the sunshine .
Judy's challenge for us today over in the HYCCT forum is I Clearly Care, and we are to use a clear element on our cards.
Well - plan A was to make a sort of shallow diorama/shadow box card such as one I made my MIL 7 years ago. But all I could find was a teensy little thumbnail of a photo that was all that survived when an AV update crashed my hard drive totally in between two backups. So I thought of a magic card .
Tutorial is in Resources HERE.
I embossed my front with TH Retro Circles after cutting the aperture, and also added a scalloped negative to finish it off. Everything else as per the tutorial.

LOVE this!! I have never made one of these, nor looked at the instructions, and I just can't see how it works, but that is the magic, right?! Ha! Guess this will have to go on my list of "to do" cards~!

I am so going to read the tutorial on this because I cannot figure out how this works! It's a great card and I'm pretty sure the recipient is going to flip out at how cool this is!

I love making magic cards but I only have one stamp that has worked well for the technique so far. I think I have that one in my gallery. Yours is wonderful!

I'm with the others on this, Sabrina. I am perplexed, indeed. Want to know how this works--so into my favs for studying and the tutorial later. Very nicely done.
