From the Vault

This month's theme for the Karen Burniston Designer Challenge is "From the Vault."  We were to take a previous card we had made with one of Karen's dies and use it as inspiration for a new card.

As I was looking through my gallery of previous cards, I thought I might like to "re-make" one of the slimline cards I had made using the Little Labels Pop-Ups, but I couldn't really home in on one in particular.  After watching Karen's February virtual class with the triple Raising Platform, an idea came to me.

This is the card I finally used as my inspiration.

My new card is an A2 rather than a slimline, but it does have a reference to the 4th of July.

. . . and the inside has three panels with fireworks.  Only two of the platforms have fireworks, however; the third platform has a sentiment panel, similar to the way Karen's card had a sentiment panel on the center platform.

Here you can see exactly how the original card was my inspiration -- three panels with fireworks and patriotic paper for the background.

I think that triple Raising Platform technique is quite clever, and I'm glad I tried it.
