For Peggysue's VSN Challenge! To make a card with a "mask" that enhances the image but doesn't hide it....using white ink and acetate!
Since I had out the cute snowman from PTI's Holiday Tree set, I just had to use him again. The snowflakes are stamped in Fresh Snow ink on acetate. I punched a scalloped circle out of the kraft card base, then put the snowman piece on the inside of the card. You can see him through the acetate window!
The good thing about acetate is you can wipe off mistakes for awhile...the bad part is it takes forever to dry and when you have little hands around, you might end up re-stamping those snowflakes 3 or 4 more times!
FAB challenge, Peggysue!

That's amazing, I had little hands touch mine too, although AFTER I took the photo to post it, so no one can see the smudges except me. Great idea for this challenge, what an adorable card with that touch of red gingham ribbon on top. Fabulous bow too!
