Twice in one day!  I must be on a  roll hehehe! Well I've played around a lot using the fairy image I coloured to create this card.  A good few mistakes, mainly due to lack of concentration as when I was stamping around the frame, my 8 year old granddaughter arrived and on boy! Can she talk for England!  To create this card I took an 8x8 (inch) card blank with scalloped edges and cute the front, centre out of the card.  1 and half inches from folded side and 1 inch top and bottom.  Then I placed a piece of acetate (heatable) over the 'gap'.  The background (inside of the card I used a royalty free backing paper, wallpaper for tablets, laptops etc..)  I glued the fairy onto the matt and layered card (Yellow card under the background).
Next I stamped onto the acetate using perfect medium by Ranger, covered with white detail embossing powder, setting the powder with a heat gun.  Hair dryer's do not work for this as they will just blow the very fine powders everywhere!
Finally, I measured and cut a frame to hide the gluing of the acetate (well actually it was the super sticky red tape!) Before sticking to the card I again stamped using perfect medium, this time using blue embossing powder to take away from the bright yellow.  As I said, a lot of mistakes happened creating this card but determined next time to learn from my mistakes (yeah right lol)

Front of card opened right up to show stamping on the acetate.
