Stamptacular Sunday Challenge...Aperture Card

Welcome back to another Stamptacular Sunday Challenge. This week our challenge is to make an Aperture Card, or, create a card that has a hole in the middle...this is usually done by stamping the main image on he INSIDE of your card and cutting a hole in the center of the card front so that you can see the image when the card is closed. WHEW! That's a mouth full!

My card is pretty involved and took several days to complete! I love a challenge!!! I want to thank Jacque Beddingfield for the original idea on this card. I CASED the entire design from her. Thank you Jacque for being such an inspiration. :-)

Before I even start, I need to let you know that I didn't keep track of the copics I used (how did that happen)?

So let's get started...here is the card I made, using Art Impressions "Little Annie" and the Window image on the front. The window was stamped onto fun foam (the narrow stuff) and then colored with Copics, and mounted onto Sage Shadow cardstock.

I began to assemble my card front by stitching some DP from Papermania "Confetti" collection to some Sage Shadow card stock. All the panels were stitched and then adhered to the front of the card. Then I adhered the fun foam (which was already cut out) and next I mounted Little Annie! The next thing I had to do was to cut through all those layers - 9 to be exact, and that took me forever...



Here is a closer view of Annie...




After I had that part done the rest was relatively easy..I stitched the panels on the inside of the card (the left side of the card was part of the 9 layers I had to cut through) and then stamped the inside of Little Annie and the Curtain and adhered them to the inside part of the card.

Here's a closer view on Annie on the inside...



Here's a view of the whole inside of my card....



Moving on to what you see through the window, I used the following images available from Diana here at Magnolia-licious.
I used #629 Allotta Rubber Stamps Stove and #383 Opps Tilda for the view through my window. Both are adhered with dimensionals on Sage Shadow card stock.




Your submission to the challenge doesn't need to be nearly as difficult, but I truly hope that you'll make an atempt at an Aperture Card and join with us for the fun...
