Xmas Acetate

Evening all!

Here is a very quick Xmas card. I have used a Bazzill red base card with a Kaiser Paper overlay and finally an acetate layer which has been stamped in black StazOn ink. PHEW!!!!!! Say that three times backwards! Studio G stamp...hohoho....was stamped in Cotton White StazOn on black Bazzill and used to cover the acetate join to the DP. The main image is a Stamp It stamp...from one of their UM Xmas sets.

Here's hoping you all had an enjoyable day!

A Very Appropriate Card!

Good morning all....

Here is another acetate card. This one almost found itself chucked. It is now a top opening card. I messed it up by scoring the side crooked. Then I tried to cover that mistake up by tucking it into a strip of card and weaving ribbon up the side. Yuck! Total waste of time! So, then I cut the whole scored bit off and nearly had the underarm action towards the bin in motion when it hit me that I could try a top opener. AND here we are.

The image is a Whipper Snapper (MW592 Umbrella and Slicker)....I wasn't aware a raincoat was a slicker...You learn something every day! I coloured the image in Prisma Pencils and odourless Solvent and added Dimensional Magic to the raindrops, parts of the brolly and the ground puddle. Add a bit of ribbon top and bottom (the bottom one is threaded through the two little holes punch by SU, and add a line of pearls (by Kaiser) and it is all done!

I added exactly the same layout as the nesties on the front to the inside...now there is a challenge for you...Keeping everything perfectly lined up while you are taping the two parts of the card together!!! Inside has the wonderful verse from PB that reads...A misty morning does not signify a cloudy day.

Sassy Stampers Acetate Challenge

Materials

Stamps: Inkadinkado 97633 Floral Flourishes, Darkroom Door DDRS004 Full Bloom Vol 2

Inks: StazOn Opaque Butter Cream

Cardstock: Generic White Card, Liz Zed Marbled Paper

Other: Acetate, Cream Brads, Cream Grosgrain, Crop o Dile

This card was made for the Sassy Stampers challenge. The base of the card is fully acetate. I have lined the inside with marbled paper and white generic cardstock. I scored half an inch in on the acetate and the marbled paper so the card would open freely to the white card where a sentiment can be placed.

I love stamping on acetate, especially with the StazOn Opaque inks. They are just so divine!....Not to mention, easy peasy!!!! Hope you like this card and come along to vote tomorrow! I will post a link to where you can see our efforts with acetate. It will be worth a look see, I am sure!

Hi all,

I am cheating a bit here. I wanted to post my alcohol ink creation....but the jolly stuff is drying really quickly! It is mega hot here today, so have decided to put the aircon on and try again when my room gets cooler. Look for the card later on.


In the meantime, here is a card I did a while back using acetate and inks. Working with acetate and inks means you always get a different effect even if you use the same ink colour combination, so I really enjoy working with this technique just to see what I will end up with.
