**NEW TECHNIQUE** New Challenge with Simply Create Too!

Happy Thursday!  It's a new challenge at Simply Create Too and our theme this month is Use A New Technique!!!  Since I like to watch crafty videos on youtube when I can't sleep, I had a lot of options to choose from!  I chose my technique from the amazing Jennifer McGuire.  This is a completely see-through card.  I shortened it to see-through sentiment!  It took a few minutes to work all the pieces out (and I actually cut it upside down and had to cut my card apart and create a hinge!) but I love how it turned out and I know I'll make these in the future.
