I'm not doing very well with this blogging break am I?! :)
Anyhoo, we're doing yet another challenge over at ABNH, this week's theme is to make a project based on a Hero Arts Artist who inspires you!! (How easy is that?!)
I made two cards actually, but I'll just share the one today :)
Today's card was inspired by Lisa Spangler (she does beautiful cards ALL the time, but I especially love her acetate ones).
I took some pool layering paper, scored and folded it in half to make a notecard.
I then took some acetate (I just use overhead projector sheets I bought from the stationery store!) and stamped it in white Colorbox ink (it's still not dry three days later LOL).
To do the flower, I coloured the stamp in with Distress Markers, then spritzed it gently with water before stamping it. I then waited for the image to dry and diecut it out with the matching die. I added a little Star Dust Stickles just to give the flower a little somethin' somthin'.
I adhered the flower CAREFULLY onto the acetate using dimensional adhesive, and then added the sentiment strip, which I stamped with Versafine ink. (thank you Chari!! Its amazing!)
To finish it off, I adhered the acetate down to the notecard and added two small strips of AC Glitter tape (this stuff is AWESOME!)
Here you can see the pretty shimmery shine :)
I hope you like!
This was a fun card to make!
I'll be back soon!

For one of my attempts with this technique I also used the Color Box white ink. Did yours ever dry? I thought about clear-embossing mine to make it set, but eventually just threw that piece away. :(
I'm thinking who *I* want to use as my muse. Hmmm ...
So beautiful, Linda!! I absolutely love the stamping on acetate. I've never been brave enough to try it myself, but I may have to. Love the watercolored/die-cut flower. So shimmery and lovely. Such a pretty card. :)
LOVE this! The colors are beautiful and that flower is fantastic! And I love how you did the background on the acetate. It's lovely!
Gorgeous, Linda. Love the acetate and the sweet panel with sentiment.
so very pretty!
This is so pretty, Linda! Stamping on acetate is not easy, but your's looks fab. :) Love the shimmer, too. It's easy to see how you were inspired by Lisa S!
This card is absolutely gorgeous, Linda! I'm so glad you linked your blog up to the Moxie Fab World Blogroll. It will be great to stop by and say "hello" from time to time!
