A Colour combo 'acetate' card

Hello everyone,

I'm back with another 'Acetate' Less is More card as I felt I needed to endure the problems that fellow Limettes had encountered with this unforgiving piece of stash so I found some embossable acetate and decided to make another card .
Ok so it's only a small piece of acetate but this is "Less is More" right  :)
I stamped with Versamark and then clear embossed on the brown card and then stamped with white ink and clear embossed on the acetate . I cut a circle of the design in acetate and used a Sizzix die to make the blue circle border and attached with thin strips of foam pads to raise it a little . The sentiment are tags are made with a SU punch then it's all mounted onto a white card base .

The colour palette is inspired by Emilie's colour combo for this week

I made a second card but didn't think it was CAS enough and too much acetate showing all the scratches/fingerprints you try and avoid putting on it .....
..... and yes your all right it is difficult to photograph even in a light tent !

That's enough with acetate , not my favourite crafting product at all .

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments on my 'Rattle' card , I think it's my most amount since I started blogging , it means so much to me that people like what I make :)

Right coffee break over , hope you enjoy the rest of this sunny day X

  6. Both cards are awesome and not a fingerprint in sight. Both are very stylish and I really like them both and the muted tones you have used.

  14. Jenny - these are both absolutely brilliant. I do like the first card - it's the spotlight technique using acetate and it works really well. It's my favourite of the two cards - love the stamp!
