Card Swap Card

I was the hostess for the March Card Swap group. So, I got to choose the theme! It's been awhile since I've used clear acetate on cards so I made an easy decision to make that the theme! (use any clear acetate, window, ghost letter/image, window sheet, etc on a card.)

I used transparencies on the front of the card. I purchased these at my local office supply store...just went up to the print department and purchased single sheets. However, Stampin' Up and local craft stores sell similar items for craft projects. In this picture you can see all I did was use my stayz-on ink and carefully stamp the image on the transparency (which I pre-cut to fit the front of my card.

On the front of the card stock I stamped silhouette style images in various colors. This was the "hardest step" to making this card. I would place the transparency (already stamped) over the cardstock and hold the pre-inked stamp image over where the butterflies were & carefully slide the acetate off the card and quickly stamp the spot with the image. Sometimes I got it perfect and others I was just slightly off.

I debated how best to attach the acetate to the front of the card. Ultimately I made a topper tent fold piece to glue all the pieces together. The topper hid the adhesive that stuck the acetate to the card.
