Festive Flurry in Acetate


Oh my goodness I actually used acetate today through choice.  

It's white on white at Less is More with the extra stipulation of Christmas.  

I started with a card base using Shimmer card stock.  I stamped Sassy Salutations and Festive Flurry on a strip of acetate then attached in a split frame.  I stamped one of the snowflakes on spare acetate and fussy cut out and attached with a Dimensional.  A large Basic Rhinestone finishes it off.  The snowflakes were all sprinkled with some Dazzling Diamonds. 

I apologise for the photo folks.  This was the best one after I realised everything was being reflected in the acetate!  It looked like there were smudges and extra ink lines.  You can tell I don't use acetate very much Lol! 

Hope you've had a lovely weekend.  We saw the sun back for a while and boy was it warm!

Take care.  x

    What a gorgeous idea, I must try using acetate that way - I have heaps of the stuff and can never seem to think what to do with it

    Good idea! Like what you did with the acetate...thanks for the incentive to give this a try - 'TRY' being the key word here - LOL!

    Sounds a bugger to photograph, but I imagine it looks gorgeous IRL ;-)
    Love the split panel idea and the snowflake is stunning.

    Wow! You used acetate willingly? And fussy cut it! There should be a prize out there for that! Seriously, I love this idea and think it's beautiful! So worth the effort!
