Hi crafters! I was having a little play when making today's card and I liked the results! I used two pieces of acetate and randomly dropped
Crystal Tints all over one piece of the acetate. I used
Yellow Citrine, Pink Topaz, Green Emerald, and Tanzanite Blue Crystal Tints. Next I placed the other piece of acetate over it and moved it around a bit to move the colours, then pulled it apart and set both halves aside to dry thoroughly. Once dry, I cut one of them down a bit and embossed it with the
Twill Weave embossing folder. I used the larger piece as the background base, then I matted the embossed piece and added it with mounting foam in the middle of the background. I used a small piece of the leftover background and cut the vase. I added a black shadow behind it and filled the vase with sprigs from the
Elegant Arrangements die set cut in white. I cut the
Sending Much Love in black and added it in the upper corner. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue.
Sorry I am not sure about this one
I expect the colour is much better in real life
Thank you for sharring.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Hi Sue what a fabulous clever idea, wow I wish I had your creativity and thought process, I just know that should I ever have any ideas they would be absolutely disastrous lol, but this looks gorgeous, had you not told us what you'd done with the acetate I wouldn't have guessed because it doesn't show that gloss/shine acetate has, maybe because it's matted onto cardstock, how I'd love to see this sample in the flesh it's just beautiful. All festive dies boxed up (apart from those that can be used all year) I really hope I can get back to market at some point this year, just one of many hurdles that I have to jump lol I wish 🤣
Whatever everyone is planning today 2022 starts in earnest, so stay safe and well, love to all Particrafters xxx
Morning Sue and all the Wilsonettes

Hi Sue. What a good idea to use 2 sheets of acetate to create an interesting background. If it was my project, I think I would have used a slightly different colour to create the vase as I don't think there is enough definition to show the vase up. Sorry.

Good morning Sue and all.
What a lovely card with the background you have created that suits it so well.
I really like the colours you have chosen.
Hope you have a lovely day.

Good morning Sue,
A lovely bright card on this dull morning. Yvonne xx
Good Morning Sue. Woaahhh. I feel like I just stepped into spring. Those colours are fabulous. If you need cheering up this is the card to do it. And it's very evenly set. Not too much on it or it would be crowded. I need to try this technique I don't have the Crystal tints ... So does anyone know if the pixies will work just as well ? We can only try. Thankyou Sue.
Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.
PLEASE PLEASE KEEP STAYING SAFE 🙏 🙏 🙏.
Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds

Morning Sue and all! What a clever idea! And I had no idea it was possible to emboss acetate! Definitely a technique to try, thank you! Take care, Colleen x
Hi Sue
Wow, love the background although I’m sure if I tried it wouldn’t look as good as yours. It’s a stunning card so thank you for sharing
Love and hugs to everyone
Pat
Not sure on this one for me...It is a pretty post but....can't put my finger on it...However it will always gorgeous for others...
Gosh another amazing technique for us to try, looks great...love the card....luv Ursula xx
Lovely I bet the acetate makes it shine, I think I would put a touch of glitter on too!
Hi Sue
A lovely card. Love the colours. I would love to see this in real life as I bet it looks even better.
Love Helen xxx
This looks like a fun technique I would enjoy. What did you use to attach your acetate to the cardstock?
Hi Sue, a fabulous card. The background is so pretty
Barbara V
This is a great technique carried to a higher level. I love your card.

Good afternoon Sue this is a stunning card. I love it. Take care. Hugs Jackie
What a beauty! Love the colors and the design, the EF is beautiful and I love the background. If you hadn't said it was acetate I wouldn't have known. Thanks for sharing, Sue.
Hugs from Toronto to you all.
Stay safe and healthy.

I’m not too sure about this one but the colours are so pretty and springlike. X
Hi Sue, I love the results of your playtime! I think there will be quite a few of us trying this technique. The layering of the embossed sheet (lovely folder) onto the smooth sheet means no struggles to find a matching background :-). A really lovely card.
Frances
I love the way the black layer behind the vase gives it so much dimension. This is a beautiful card. Hugs.
WOW what a unique way of using acetate Sue!! love your choice of colors!
Hi Sue Wow what a lovely card with a clever technique I would never have guessed that the background was acetate I haver never tried embossing acetate but will definately give it a go!
Just Lovely.
Hello Sue, this card will certainly stand out from any others. The colours are beautiful and a great idea to have the one plain and one embossed. Must give this a try. Bx
Hi Sue Love the colours on your card, stunning...embossing acetate is a brilliant idea
Love Rosie from Chorley xxxx
Never thought to emboss acetate! Another technique to try. Love the effect. Thank you Sue.

Hi Sue
This is a favourite card of mine, the colour and design. For me it has an oriental feel.
Hugs
