Hi everyone, I was remiss in linking up this card to the CAS Mix up Challenge! Time got away before I could finish it. In real life the acetate panel looks like a sliced jewel! But when photographed it needed something else!
I'm a big fan of Loll's gorgeous CAS cards and she often tops off a beautiful background with a white die cut, so I tried this technique too!
Alcohol inks were dripped and blown onto the acetate then I added a layer of dimensional magic glue. A piece of scrunched then flattened tissue paper was stuck onto this to make a white backing. The gold layer of shimmer paper adds more colour in the gaps where the tissue seems to have disappeared and added a frame to balance the white base.
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday where the theme is flower frenzy.
Work it Wednesday where the theme is to use a fun inking technique.

The colors are stunning and I love the white die cuts. I need to try this with the alcohol inks. I like how they look on glossy paper but have never tried on acetate.
