There were going to be three but for the life of me I could not get a good photo of the acetate Christmas card I made . Never mind perhaps another time . HA !! tried once more ..

Acetate love

Hello you all . How wonderful you look . So chirpy and bright . You must be crafting . Right?
I spent the bulk of the afternoon commenting on Michelle's Make it Monday entrys . Fabulous creations every where  I went . I cant believe that there are papercrafters all over the world and we are only a click away from each other . Isn't that amazing ?
Any way , yesterday I made a card with acetate hoping to enter into http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.com/2011/04/week-11-theme-acetate.html
but  I went over board with layer and embellishment,  I think,  so here is another which I hope is just right this time .
Please excuse my fingers in view. This is the inside look  first , and as the acetate would not lay flat I held the card open .

This photo  above shows card partly open to show how front label sits over that insde one to show a border when closed .

So here you see that the card front is clear except for  brown dot paper and Very Vanilla card with sentiment .
                                                                Recipe .
                                                                           Acetate as card base
                                                                      DSP American Crafts, Play Jungle Gym
                                                                  Very Vanilla, SU. Brown dot paper Christina Rae.

                                                              Stamps, sentiment,  Stamp-It, Well Scripted , SU
                                                                Ink Basic Brown.
Hope the photos are clear enough as Acetate is hard to photograph.

Entree 3 Francs

Hi there blogging friends . Welcome to my room .  A glorious Autumn day in Adelaide . Hope that you have enjoyed a perfect day where ever you are.
I began this afternoon making what I thought would  be a card for Simply less is More acetate challenge .  BUT ...got carried away so wont even try to enter it .
Card base is Close to Cocoa , retired from SU.

Recipe

Close to Cocoa, Very Vanilla, scrap patterned paper, Acetate.

Ink, Kiwi Kiss, Basic Black.

Spellbinders  Nestabilities Labels Nineteen

Swiss Dots embossing folder

Stamps , Vintage Collage, TJ Designs Rubber Stamps .

Artistic Etchings SU.

Jewels Basic Pearls SU

flower from stash

I embossed Very Vanilla piece then  cut the apeture . I stamped  the tower on to green patterned scrap and the Dreamer onto the Acetate. I then layered the three pieces.

 Just added Jewels flower and ticket as embellishing .

I like it , hope you do too.

This will be kept for something special I think !

Now I have to think of something else for the acetate challenge .

Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne.

Hello

Hi there , welcome to my room . It's a glorious day here in Adelaide , and here I am enjoying your company , so all is good. Hope you are all well.
Thank heavens for digital cameras ! I have taken 25 shots of this card and this is the best  I could choose . My card today is my take on a swap I had recently from Ally.
The flower panel is a piece of Acetate embossed with Big Shot folder , Elegant Bouquet.

And the reason for the difficulty is that the acetate reflected light in any  angle I tried.

I used a white Pigment Ink Pen to colour the underside of the daisys and a green marker for stems .

The larger  white panel is also embossed and hard to see . The black card under the acetate is embossed with Dots folder.

 The card base is Glossy White with a Basic Black mat . I then adhered a smaller Marina Mist piece. I used more of this card to punch [EK] a lattice work strip, to add to bottom edge. Over this I added a Marina Mist ribbon and bow.

The sentiment from SU Tiny Tags is on Small Scallop Circle edges sponged with  Brocade Blue  ink .

Might have to have another go at this card and photography.

Still I hope you have got the idea , it really looks better in real life .

Catch you again soon cheers for now , Shirley-Anne .
