Help, I'm way out of my depth here! This is the very first time I've attempted to use acetate, luckily I had one sheet hidden away in my paper drawer.
I've used some lovely design papers that were a free download, but I can't remember where from (if anyone knows, please tell me). The top of the card was cut at 6cm, then I cut a 4cm strip for the bottom. The acetate sits between the two.
The Butterfly is from my favourite Marianne Creatables Butterfly die using the same background design paper and the sentiment is from Craftwork Cards.
I'm pretty pleased with how it's turned out considering my initial hesitation.
Hope you all have a great weekend. Thanks for stopping by.
