My Card
Recipe
7" square base card
acetate
Topper and card stock - Hunkydory"Fabulously Floral"
It has been years since I did anything with acetate so this is what I came up with. I cut away most of the card front and just left enough at the top to attach the acetate. All I need to do then was to add a header and footer with a topper and sentiment topper. I added silver floral peel off borders because they are so like the silver flowers around the topper. A very easy card but looks so pretty. Mind you, it was terrible to photograph without getting reflections showing ion the acetate but I think I did okay in the end. Why not pop over to the blog and see what my team mates have come up with and maybe you will feel inspired to join in the challenge?
We had a very successful day at the village show yesterday but I was absolutely shattered when I got home. We raised £1200 - and when I tell you that we only charge £1 for tea and coffee and £2 for cake you can just imagine how many people we served!! No wonder we were all cream crackered ... lol! I think next year we may have to think about raising the prices a wee bit because we have charged the same for the last five years. But then again, maybe that's why we have so many customers? It was rather breezy initially but the wind soon died down and the sun shone so we were very lucky considering - that we had torrential rain and high winds on Friday and it is raining again this morning.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Take care.
Morning Christine,

This is lovely. Not used acetate for a while( well not used much of anything of late) but can use my right hand to cut the acetates it's my trimmer and I too have lots of Hunkydory papers and card. Thanks for the inspiration. This card realy is pretty. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful Christine - I'm another one who hasn't used acetate for years. It's very bright but very breezy here today. Lily and I went for a walk in the local QE Park at 9 this morning and we're now both worn out. She's fast asleep on the sofa next to me. It's raining on and off now and as she's a Staffie that hates the rain we'll not be going out again today. My DIL is walking from St. James' Park in Newcastle to Morpeth in aid of a baby charity so I hope the weather isn't too bad for the walkers. Hazel x
