Hi there
Well I’m not sure where the week has gone – I haven’t had a chance to blog since last week’s card and I have heaps of creations to share with you. I will try and catch up this coming week.
Today’s card incorporates two challenges – the sketch is from Try Stampin on Tuesday and I used the Crafters Anonymous February challenge of using acetate. I’ve used acetate to create 3D projects but never made a card with it.
Here’s the front:
and then from the inside:
After adhering my shapes to the front I then cut an extra set of shapes to stick in reverse from the inside so that you couldn’t see the adhesive from the front shapes. I did the same process for the back of the card. On the inside I used some DSP and then plain card stock from the back. This also gives the card some extra strength. I was really pleased with my first attempt and will give this style another go soon.
Supplies:
Stamp – Clockworks, Made for You
Card Stock – Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight, Basic Gray, Crumb Cake, Whisper White
DSP – Neutrals Paper Stack
Ink – Night of Navy
Other – 3/4″ Circle Punch, 2 1/2″ Circle Punch, Chevron Embossing Folder, Acetate, Dimensionals
Catch you back soon with some more creations.
Lovin' the navy and yellow together. Great masculine card Paula. I have been wanting to do an acetate card, but question? what type adhesive works that doens't show ont he back side? Thanks for sharing and look forward to your heaps of other creations.
Know what you mean about time flying by 🙂 This card is fabulous! Love the effect the acetate gives to this card.
Love how you accented the front of the card by using the acetate. Great job.
I really love the blue and yellow together, Paula! A perfect masculine birthday card! HUGS! 🙂
