Busy, busy, busy…..

I know, I know!  No excuse!! But I’ll get it out the way now!  There is so much going on at the moment and the small thing of a day job keeps getting in the way! *sigh*

No worries….hopefully I’m back on track now!  But I’ve needed the time to think of a “card” for the Less is More challenge this week.  ACETATE!! Yep!Acetate! 

Hmmmm! Been thinking about this one since Sunday and I think many of the LIMettes are feeling the same!  You’re really challenging us this week, Chrissie and Mandi!

So here goes:IMG_9276

I’ve made this card using my Pick a Petal stamp Set from Stampin’ Up!  I’ve stamped petals on to smooth Rich Razzleberry card and DSP Patterns paper in Pumpkin Pie.  The Old Olive butterfly is a Sizzlet from Sizzix with an acetate overlay.

I’ve attached the Razzleberry petals on the front of the acetate and the Pumpkin Pie petals on the back.

To anchor the card, I’ve 3-d’d a greeting (from my new “Just Believe” Stamp set) on to the front of a Razzleberry base.

 

 

And if you was wondering about the pop-up mechanism for this card….that’s right….IMG_9285

 Acetate! 

 

 

 

 

 

And now for the close ups.

So, I hope you like it.  Feel free to leave comments….I love hearing from the LIMettes!

  1. Oooh, what a lovely idea! Very cute card, and I love the colours - the petals look rich enough to be patterned fabric, don't they!

    Gorgeous!
