WT371 Polished Acetate

Photo Details

Poster: CAKath

Today's challenge is to use reinkers. This time, I did the technique on acetate for the first time. I combined gold/Daffodil/ Calypso Coral for the polished stone effect. I stamped the blossom in StazOn on the back of the acetate. The base is Calypso Coral, the same color used on the polished stone panel.

Thanks for viewing and commenting.

Oh, I love this card! That background rocks and looks terrific on the Calypso Coral. I think I need that flower.

Kathy, you have piqued my interest into looking up your technique with reinkers....your bg is beautiful. I like how you chose a stamp that was a fine line drawing and just used black ink. It really makes a wonderful statement on this beautiful card.

I would not have thought to place an acetate layer over the polished stone. It is very pretty with those flowers. Yet another reason to add this set to my wish list.

Beautiful card. As a thumbnail, it looks like folds in the paper. When you inspect it closely you see what an amazing technique this is. It looks like you did the polished stone right on the acetate. Is that correct? I'd love to know the steps you took to achieve this card...

Thank you for inspiring me and sharing such a wonderful card.
