Less is More - Week 11 Acetate

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.

  2. This is quite something Karen.
    I don't possess any heat resistant acetate, so the joys of heat embossing it are yet for me to try.
    Great submission!

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

    Very lovely card.

  11. Thanks 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.

    Hugs.
