Less is More - Vellum/Acetate

Another fun challenge starting over at Less is More today.  This week our challenge theme is Vellum/Acetate.

For me, this theme just screams shaker card.  I haven't made a shaker card for awhile, so this is the perfect opportunity.  Here's my take on the challenge...


I used my Zig Real Brush markers to color my main issue.  I love the bold and bright colors, while still maintaining the water color look and feel.

I stamped the sentiment on the back panel behind the acetate and added the sequins and tiny stars.

I popped the main image up on foam tape to give a bit of dimension.

Actually a pretty simple card!




Here's a close up of the card, where you can see some of the dimension.

We are looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
