<p>I was inspired by the gals over at <a href="http://caardvarks.blogspot.com/">Caardvarks</a> to make a window card. I filled a zip-to baggie with hair gel and taped it to back of my window. on the inside there is a gradient blue panel that I made with a kaliedacolor ink pad, brayer and <a href="https://thefrugalcrafter.wordpress.com/2008/11/10/make-your-own-glimmer-mist/">homemade shimmer spray</a>. Here you can see the card closed and open:</p>

<p>I have had the fortune to try out a Wacom pen tablet. My friend <a href="http://artfulxpressions.net/">Micki</a> lent me her tablet and I can&#8217;t stop playing with the darn thing (hey Micki, do you think you could explain to my husband why I haven&#8217;t had time to do any laundry this week LOL!) The digital stamp on this card I made by drawing it right on the tablet, what fun! To see more of my designs click <a href="http://www.shophandmade.com/Store/Lindsay">here</a>.</p>

<p>I know it is one of my first attempts with the tablet, I am used to drawing by hand and scanning it into the computer, what do you think? I also drew the sun in inkscape and made a svg file that you can cut with your cricut if you have <a href="http://www.craftedge.com/index.php?rfid=4291406&amp;ref=c05943995fc9e9df4a0b0672d997478d">Sure Cuts A Lot software</a>. I have a scut file for the card base too and I did not forget my cricut peeps who only have the free trial of DS you can make this card with Design Studio using the George cartridge (I think there is a sun die cut on the George card as well that you can use in place of my sun svg.)</p>
