We have such a fun challenge for you at Time Out Challenges! I can't wait to see how you interpret our idea of using a clear element on your project!
I went with a fully clear panel for my card front! To do this, I cut a piece of acetate that was the same size as my card front but with an extra 1/2" on the folded side. I scored the piece of acetate and put a piece of white cardstock inside the flap to create a card back.
The key to a card like this is to make it so that your adhesive doesn't show through. I adhered my paper strips only in the centre 3/4" or so and then added the 1" gold strip to the inside of the card, putting adhesive only behind the paper strips.
*Cardstock: unknown brushed gold; acetate
*Paper: Stampin' Up (don't know the name of it)
*Stamps: Gina K Wreath Builder
*Ink: Versafine Clair Nocturne
*Dies: MFT Stitched Circles
Gorgeous CAS design Nancy and the gold adds a real touch of elegance! Hugs, Kate!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely, Nancy, and probably a lot easier than my full on acetate card. I love the way you covered the adhesive and gave the card an elegant feel with the strip of gold.
ReplyDeleteAnother great CAS design Nancy! I love this beautiful acetate card front with the pretty florals. Paerfect! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat card, Nancy... I really love how you have made the front panel clear and added all the elements on top of that.I've never made such kind of a card.. Thank you for inspiring me . Hugsxx

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous design and clever way to incorporate a clear element! I just love it!
