The new Sentimental Sundays challenge is "I Can See Clearly Now - Use a clear element on your card".
I paired up the challenge with my need for a card for 9-year old boy's birthday. (My where has the time gone? I remember when he was born!)
For my clear elements I used a clear button, clear dew drops, and Crystal Effects (does that count?).
Stop by the Sentimental Sundays blog to download your free sentiment set from Ann Vento of Raindrop Echo Designs. We would love you to join the challenge. Please link your card with a clear element for your chance to win. You can see the details on the Sentimental Sundays blog.

This little guy is so cute, and I'd say glossy accents count as a clear element! Great shine, great coloring.

Fantastic card, such a fun image! Your colouring looks amazing and I love those papers too.
Adorable card! Love the layout and all the 'cool' papers.
The turtle is so cute and since it says "crystal" that usually goes with crystal clear so yes it counts. Great card.
