Acetate Shaped card.

My card shape today is made from Acetate

which has been sandwiched between 

layers of patterned paper.

This is my inspiration piece for 

my Butterfly Challenge

#26 Butterfly/ies + P is for Patterned Paper

 I find acetate is normally quite a fiddly thing to use in making cards.

You either have to use as a window within a frame or 

attach using brads to the front so that you do not see

any of your fixing tapes.

I found a great  tutorial  here by Kristina Werner which uses none of these ideas.

Kristina used an actual acetate card base for her card

but I just used a sheet of acetate cut down and scored heavily using my Scor-Pal.

The design papers were a freebie in Papercraft Inspirations magazine

called Vintage Treasures by Jennifer Ellory.

Art Pad Set 19 Cute Cottage Garden.

I used my  Xcut  rounder  for the corners.

Here is the back of the card which shows the whole 

of the acetate card with the design paper adhered to the back

which mirrors exactly the inside panel thus hiding all the double sided tapes.

The sentiment is made using Anita's silver peel offs.

Quite difficult to get good photos because of the glare you get

back from the acetate.  Don't think you can see me pointing the camera!
