Dottie's world Sunday challenge: A for acetate with a hint of pink

Oh dear, earlier on I made a bit of a bloomer, but thanks to a lovely cybercraft friend (you know who you are - angel) - I'm now on the right track.

This card is for the Sunday challenge on Dottie's World - And the Challenge is:-

A is for Acetate with a hint of pink!!
It can be a whole acetate card,an aperture of acetate,an embelishment as long as Acetate is there some where & as October is Breast Cancer awareness month I'd like to see some pink!!!

As we have just had an engagement announced in the family, I wanted to make a card, so I downloaded the Dottie Love and Marriage collection and printed this one out on to acetate, which I quickly embossed with a clear detail powder. I used watered-down Marvy and Whisper pens for the colouring.

The acetate is fastened to the crackled silver card with some brads from CBC

I mounted it on to a blue card, because I didn't want the whole card to become too pink!

As ever, it was difficult to get a photo without too much reflection on the acetate, which now looks as if it's creased in a couple of places, but it isn't.



I'm glad I found Dottie's World. If you're interested in getting some of the fab downloads, they can be located here.
