This is one of the cards that the ladies in the card class that I lead at a local community group will make tomorrow. I was inspired by this card to create the interactive layout (see link above) - using the card as I guide I got out my papers and rulers to make the layout.  Thank you for looking, Margaret

I have written previously that as a Kaszazz consultant I have access to a range of cards and projects created by other consulants.  The creator of this card design was Anne Avery and it is on page 37 of the current Kaszazz catalogue.  It uses one of my favourite papers and stamps from Serendipity collection. I was searching the web when I found many references to a technique called Eclipse.  I decided to use this technique on this card. You first die cut your die onto the background paper and then die cut several more on to, in my case, white cardstock - I cut 4 additional dies, which are then glued together and ...
