Have a Magical Day!

Hi everyone,

It's challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog.  Our challenge hostess for July, Lynn McAuley finishes off the month with one last challenge.

Lynn tells us that .... Tomorrow is Harry Potter’s birthday. So for our challenge this week we are to create a card of some kind that honors this amazing literary character.

I found some Harry Potter themed character digital stamps over on the Tiddly Inks web site, so decided I had to get them to create my card for this challenge. 

I decided to create a Pull card using the Rectangle Pull Card die set designed by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs.

This time round I decided to make the rectangle panel clear by adding acetate and cutting another black panel to go over the acetate. I attached Harry to the inside of the card so that he could still be see when the card was closed through the acetate window.

I used the wavy edge from the Outdoor Edges die set to create the ground which I die cut using Transparent Double Sided Adhesive Tape on the front of the card and then covering with Basic Black Silk Microfine Glitter. 

Once I had all this done, I felt that we needed something else to be seen though the acetate window ... after a bit of digging I discovered that I had purchased the Bugaboo Harr eepotter Digital stamp set and the Accessory set. So I printed out the sorting hat and two brooms (one the mirror image of the original). I attached the broom on either side of the acetate so it looks like Harry is carry it when the card is closed. I also added the sorting hat to the top of the card using the spinner die included in the Rectangle Pull Card set. When the card is closed it looks like the hat is on Harry's head and when it opens it is up in the air.
