Mercury Glass Acetate Magnolia Blooms Thank You Card

This card features the Mercury Glass Designer Acetate and the Magnolia Blooms stamp set

I've been using the Mercury Glass Designer Acetate on a lot of Christmas cards recently (take a look back through my posts and my addiction will be revealed!) so I decided to use it on a thank you card instead.

I backed the acetate with a piece of Blueberry Bushel cardstock and then placed it onto the Balmy Blue base card.

I stamped the Magnolia Blooms onto Whisper White cardstock by inking the image with Stampin' Write Markers in Lovely Lipstick and Mint Macaron.  I then added some subtle colour with coordinating Stampin' Blends alcohol markers.
TIP: I used the Color Lifter to blend the colour out on the petals.

I hand cut the blooms and added them to the card front.

I used the coordinating label and frame from the Ornate Frames dies to create a secondary feature on the card.  The Frame is Lovely Lipstick and the label is Balmy Blue with the greeting stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink.

Thank you for visiting.
'Til next time!

Mercury Glass Acetate Noel

Mercury Glass Acetate forms a beautiful backdrop for the die-cut letters.
The stunning Feels Like Frost foiled papers create quick, easy and beautiful Christmas cards!

Well, I've become addicted to the Mercury Glass Designer Acetate!  I shared an #Elfie card here and that was just the start!

Today's card is soooo simple ... and looking at it again now, I can see that I could have made it even more simple for myself!

To the Coastal Cabana base card I added a piece of the beautiful Feels Like Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper.  The next step is to adhere a piece of the acetate to a larger piece of Noble Peacock Foil Sheet (I actually backed the acetate with a piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock - not necessary!)  Then I adhered this to a piece of Coastal Cabana card before adding it to the card front.

The letters are cut from Bermuda Bay cardstock using the Hand Lettered Prose dies.

I can't resist an extra bit of bling, so I added some Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Thank you for visiting.
