Our April Swap at Craftmad was all about acetate. Visit our Pinterest Album to see what everyone else came up with.
I decided to make a magic slider card, it's been years since I have made one. Now I remember why, although I enjoy the whole making and creating, I just don't feel the card is quite finished and wasn't sure what else I could do. Anyways, it was fun. I stamped the pink card with Stampin Up - Creative Elements flourish. The flower image is also from the same set. I followed this tutorial over at Splitcoast Stampers. I added the little flower and sentiment to the bottom corner as I thought it was too plain without it. For some reason I used a pice of scrap white paper which had the gold spritz on it from the inner tag. I think card stock would have looked better.
This is the slider as it's being pulled out. Sadly I was over zealous when deleting unwanted photos and do not have a photo of the entire image and sentiment. Grrrrr. So the pull out tag, I coloured the image with my copics, spritz with gold, stamped a sentiment from the Creative Elements set which I stamped on an angle….grrr again. :-) Added a butterfly in the hope that everyone's eye is drawn to that and don't notice the slant of the sentiment. I will ask my swap partner for a photo when she receives it then update my post.
I found a card on Pinterest which I had to try - original card at Mel's Card Corner.
A fun card to put together and I love the end result. I have the same patterned paper on the inside to cover up the tape which is holding the card stock in place on the acetate. Actually, I used overhead projector sheets which I claimed from the local school as they were going to toss a box full as overhead projectors are a thing of the past.
Wishing you a fantastic day full of smiles.
Both lovely cards Merry, what a shame about the other pics,hope your swap pal can do some for you.....x
