I probably did too much thinking with this card . . . but here's what I tried to capture. The Off the Chart stamp set mimics an eye chart, right? So, when you get new glasses, the world is more colorful and clear, right? So, my idea was to add a piece of glass to the card and have everything outside the glass aged and in dull colors, but have everything inside the glass be bright as new and colorful.
That's the idea beyhind the Inkssentials Memory Glass (Ranger product). I edged the glass with a gold leaf pen and attached it with Clear Effects.
This is for a Spring Mini swap, and I'll post it along with more details on my blog later this week (www.cateredcrop.typepad.com).
[Edit - The details about the thought behind the card are now on the blog. Thanks for looking.]

This is a sensational card!!! The people swapping with you should be thrilled. I especially love the symbolism of the colors with being pre glasses and post glasses clarity. Great work, lucky swappers!!
