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

Floating acetate cards

Good Morning all

Today im sharing 2 floating acetate cards - very hard to take decent photos of both the acetate and the foiling i used!  Using the old stash of double sided adhesive sheets again i decided to use them with a pot of cosmic shimmer aurora flakes i was given months ago which went everywhere and reminded me why my gilding flakes went to the back of the cupboard!! So i decided to just make a massive mess and use the whole tub up at once with one clean up or they would have just gone to the back of the cupboard as well!  - so i now have alot of sparkly panels for Christmas cards.....we were finding flakes around the bungalow for days after including on the cats😁 

A5 card size.  After sticking the double sided sheet to white cardstock i peeled off the other sticky side and added my die cut floral panel and then rubbed in the aurora flakes and buffed up.  I folded an A4 sheet of acetate in half and added my rose panel to the centre of the card front, leaving acetate edges all the way around gives the effect the middle panel is floating.  I die cut vellum for my flowers adding a gem centre, die cut foliage from silver mirror card and a stamped and die cut sentiment banner.  

To hide all the workings and for somewhere to write the greeting inside i cut panels of white card the same size as the rose panel on the front and glued them inside on both sides and then one on the back of the card too.

Showing it side on, you can just see the white panel inside here

Trying to show the amazing shimmer and shine of the flakes but in real life it is amazing in tones of green, blue and silver

and showing the back

and version 2 i made with glitter.  Going on from my last uploads about this sizzix glitter - see here if you missed it last week. I was given 3 pots, the charcoal i used last time and then this pink and orange

Made exactly the same way as the first one but just using the biodegradable glitter instead of the flakes - if i did it again i would be more careful about how i put the different colours onto the panel  - its very sparkly which sadly the photos really don't show!

Items Used:

Rose panel cutting die (brand unknown)

Flower & foliage dies

MFT fishtail banner dies

Sentiment stamps

Cosmic Shimmer Aurora flakes 'lagoon'

Sizzix bio glitter - 663873 'purple dusk'  & 663870 'caramel toffee'

Papermania vellum

Gems

Hunkydory A4 acetate

Thank you all for stopping by once again.  I must admit this cooler heat much better for me, catching up on sleep now, all i did yesterday was snooze😀  I hope you all have a good week.  Hugs Emmax
