Less is More ...Acetate

I got VERY excited this morning when I saw the new LIM Challenge for this week was to include acetate - I just love the amount of things you can do with it!



My first card for this challenge - there will be more - is using one of those 'cut off' sections you end up with when making your own blanks from A4 card.




I added a piece of folded acetate to take it back to 15x15 and added some panels of the First Edition paper to 'hide' the fixings and edges.


Thanks for popping over to check out my Acetate LiM card - have you checked out the rest of the amazing entries????

  15. Carol, this is stunning!
    I love the brilliant idea of using the cut off bits to make a new card, I often only use them for stamping images to be die cut, I think I'll certainly be doing something like this. the papers you have used are gorgeous.
    A fabulous card!
    Thanks so much!
