Week 1, card 5 Holiday card boot camp - Acetate card
I absolutely loved Jennifer McGuire's card for holiday card boot camp today - she did an acetate card with a navy blue panel on the front, with a Christmas tree stamped and embossing in white. Here's my attempt - my first ever acetate card!
I used some metallic cardstock that has been sitting in my stash for yonks - it added some gorgeous sheen to the card. I also added plenty of bling to the tree :)
I had to photograph it against a blue background, getting away from my usual Cristina Re quilted paper - I tried it, but you couldn't see any of the stamping on the acetate at all!!

LOVE metallic cardstock color! Beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteThis is it! The very best card!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that tree stamp. Where did yoy get it?
ReplyDeleteIt is from a Stampin' Up stamp set, with some really nice snowflakes as well. I think the set is called "Snow Swirled".

What stamps did you use and where did you get them?
ReplyDeleteThe tree is from a Stampin' Up stamp set called "Snow Swirled". The background stamp is from Inkadinkado, and the sentiment is from a Hero Arts set called "Holiday Sayings". As far as I know, all of them are now discontinued (I made this card 5 years ago!)
