I never liked doing my homework when I was in school, but I always like doing it when I am taking any of the classes from onlinecardclasses.com! I am a little late to the game but thought I would start in on the window cards theme from Day 2. The latest class, A Cut Above features a week of lessons on traditional die cutting, and a week on the Silhouette. I love die cutting and consider myself to be pretty proficient, but I always learn something new in these classes and they definitley help spark creativity!
This homework works out perfectly for me since I have been wanting to play along with the second challenge over at A Blog Named Hero and wouldn't you know, the challenge there is "A Card with a View" which is to create a card with a window in it, on it, or through it.
Here it is:
A trip to "die" for, Cheiron! Ha! Love how you used the circle and repeated it....a wonderful design. Seriously fun!
