Acetate Christmas Scene

Wow, it has taken ages for me to get back to blogging!!!!

I am finally back and so today I thought I would show you a card using the Christmas Tidings Silent Night Stamp.  I printed the stamp out in full and sponged it with blue ink to give that lovley wintery effect. I stamped the image out again but this time I masked the greeting section with a post it note so when I printed it the To and From words weren't shown. I cut out the greeting part mounted it on top of the original stamped image with 3D foam and put a Merry Christmas Glitterations sticker on as the greeting. Then I mounted the prepared piece on a white piece of card and then onto another piece of sponged card. Everything was mounted onto a folded piece of strong acetate.

I love working with acetate as it just creates this fantastic floating effect on a card. You can see in the first picture that I have made a panel slightly smaller then the front image to sit inside the card so it can be written on.

 
Happy Crafting everyone :)
