First time entering.
It is very seldom I use my acetate except when I make a shaker card, so this challenge – Transparent Treasures leads me to make an unusual card where I use the acetate to be the card front. And I had so much making it too!
I was fortunate to reach 1,000 followers on Instagram recently, so I again created three cards with a dual purpose: enter into this challenge and showcase the fantastic Pinkfresh products I’m giving away to celebrate this milestone. I chose to create three acetate shaker cards that feature the Chrysanthemum, Pure Joy and Brushed Sentiments product suites.
This is my first time creating a card for the monthly challenges. I used vellum overlaid on ink blended colors for the transparent element of the challenge.
Love this transparent treasures theme and the new option for anything goes! I made a shaker card and another card with vellum banners and clear embellishments. I also made another card for anything goes using the fabulous PF washi because I just can’t get enough. 💕
What a STUNNING color combo! I used the new Lantern set that I just received in my latest haul! Had so much fun incorporating the colors and used acetate on the Lantern to give that “glass” effect
Thanks for the opportunity!
