T E C H N I Q U E

Choose an image with an opening, such as a birdcage, dog house, ornament, snow globe, door, window, etc. Plan carefully the correct placement of the image on the front of your card, keeping in mind that a rotating circle must match up from behind.

Stamp the image. Cut away the inside portion for a window. (For birdcage or any other image with necessary inside lines, stamp again on acetate with Memories black ink and heat set. Later, mount this transparency behind the opening, matching up interior lines.

From matching or contrasting cardstock, cut a 4 1/8" circle. Fold card and lay the circle on the inside. With a pencil, lightly trace the shape of the opening 4 or 5 times, rotating the circle. Pencil in arrows to show direction for stamping. Stamp suitable images into each traced outline, using Memories black ink. Heat set. Add color with watercolor pencils, blending with blender pen, or chalks, markers, etc. as desired.

Decorate the rest of the outside as desired. Mount the rotating wheel of images behind the window using a brad. Decorate the inside of your card as desired.
