Thank You Acetate Card

 

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing another Thank You Card:  

The main image panel is a Pre-Coloured Acetate Overlay that already has the silhouette images printed on it.  I bought a bunch of them years ago from Bellbird PaperArts at a Craft Show and found them in my stash when I was looking for something else.  The Acetate Overlays came in a bunch of different colours.   I had totally forgotten about them - but you do forget what you have, don't you?!  

I trimmed the overlay to a square then stamped the Thank You Sentiment with Stazon Jet Black Ink using a Stamp Positioner so I could stamp the sentiment a couple of times to make it nice and dark.  The sentiment came free with a whole set of sentiments from a UK Cardmaking and Papercraft Magazine ages ago, and was designed by Simonne Clay.  This set is one of my most-used sentiment sets and I just love the fonts in the set. 

I added some white cardstock behind the acetate and used 3mm Pale Mustard Brads to attach them together.  You can't use glue because it shows through.

I glued the panel to Black Cardstock then to Mustard Yellow Cardstock - then to a Cream Card Base.

I glued on an Acetate Butterfly with Helmar's 450 Quick Dry Adhesive along the butterfly's body but left the wings so I could bend them up.  I also bought these butterflies when I bought the Pre-Coloured Acetate Overlays.

Finished size is 5-3/8" x 5-3/8" or 137mm x 137mm.

This card will be going to the Nursing Home who took such good care of my late Mother.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.
