Jinger Adam's card Contest

Let me tell you that when I have a card idea in my head I do everything to make it come out. When I was making this card I ran into problem after problem, which all resulted from the window. I should really think things all the way through. Anyways this is a 5x5 easel card.I used Winter Lace, Don juan and Anna Griffin paper. I had to use my gypsy to make this card. I'm so happy I have one, because without it  I don't think I could have pulled this card off. LoL don't ask where I got the clear plastic. It was found on a train from the city. It's nice and thick too. Wish my mom found more!
