One Layer Acetate Windonw

This card design is for Juliehrr’s DTGD Challenge today! I just love Julie’s clean style, one layer cards and acetate windows so I had to give this challenge a try! :)

Window of Treats

For this design, it definitely looks better in person! I just couldn’t get a pic I was satisfied with this time…oh well! Anyways…my one layer of cardstock is a piece of Shimmery White and it looks so elegant in person. The front panel is stamped with simply a little sentiment from Flourished Words on the bottom right hand corner. I then cut a nice oval shape from the center of my cardstock.

For my acetate window, I stamped the Tier of Treats stamp by Stampendous onto a sheet of acetate. I carefully colored it in with some Sakura Gelly Roll Glaze pens and allowed it to dry. Then I adhered the acetate sheet to the inside of the card and stitched around the window with my sewing machine. It needed a little touch of embellishment on the front so I adhered a little scrap of dotted celery ribbon. To add some interest to the interior of the design and to peek through the window to the front…I stamped one of my favorite background stamps, Dots and Daisies, with Pretty in Pink ink. So fun! I’ve got to try this again! :)

    This is a fantastic card! I love how you colored the image on the acetate, and how the dots and daisies BG peeks through… too cute!

    I would never have thought of doing what you’ve done with that stamp. Just Gaw-jus! That’s why you’re the master! :-)

    I have never been able to get a clear image on acetate so I am so impressed. And your sewing rocks. These colors are so cute.

    I love your card, as always. Did you color with the glaze pens on the front or back of the acetate, or does it matter? I will definitely try this!
