Christmas Floating Acetate card

Good Morning everyone

Some of you may remember the flower floating acetate cards i made (see here) Well i hated the mess using the cosmic shimmer aurora flakes made so i used up the whole tub at the time to save it going to the back of the cupboard and added it to double sided adhesive sheets with the idea of making Christmas versions of the cards and here they are...



6x6 acetate cardbase.   I cut the geese circle die from white linen cardstock & then die cut my aurora flakes background into a circle the same size, i attached the geese to the background and added this to the middle of my acetate front.  So that its all neat and tidy i added white die cut circles to the inside front & back and the outside back of the card so they all hide any glue and somewhere to write the greeting.  

I die cut a poinsettia from white vellum and foliage from silver mirror card which picks up on the silver in the background.  A bluey/greeny dazzle gem added to the middle of the poinsettia and computer printed sentiment to finish. 

Showing front on, you can really see the floating effect of the topper here

The flakes are amazingly shimmery which is very hard to pick up in the photos


and version 2

5x5 acetate base.  Dove scene cut in white and a smaller vellum poinsettia and foliage


This shows the background a bit better

Items Used:
Dove circle die
Lavinia Gaggle of geese 
Tim Holtz tattered poinsettia die
Spellbinders circle dies
CheeryLynn foliage dies
Cosmic Shimmer Aurora flakes 'lagoon'
White vellum
Hunkydory acetate

What eye-catching, immensely beautiful cards. They have a very welcome sense of wintertime serenity to them that only adds to their loveliness.
