This week the LIMettes have been challenged to make a CAS card incorporating acetate. There are some great DT cards on their blog so pop over to have a look.
For my card I have stamped a butterfly from an Elusive Images set called Patchwork Butterfly (they are now Chocolate Baroque) onto the acetate using Versamark ink and then heat embossed the image using detail silver e/p. On the back I have used alcohol inks to add the colour and then cut out the butterfly. The flower stamp is by Hero Arts and called Real Dill. The sentiment is from a Stampin Up set called Flight of the Butterfly. I then used silicone glue to add some dimension to the butterfly.
Thanks for dropping by.
This is really lovely, the butterfly is fab. x
ReplyDeleteThis is quite something Karen.
ReplyDeleteI don't possess any heat resistant acetate, so the joys of heat embossing it are yet for me to try.
Great submission!

Oh my that butter fly is gorgeous. I really admire anyone that can heat emboss acetate; mind just curls and melts. LOL

ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comments. I've just had a look at my stash of heat embossable acetate but unfortunately there isn't a suppliers name on it but it's easily available from most websites. Costs a bit more but it's worth it.
ReplyDeleteHugs.
