Stencilling on Acetate | Guest Designer Addicted to CAS

Today I am glad to join Addicted to CAS Challenge as a Guest Designer and to share a Clean and Simple card with stencilling a glitter paste onto an acetate sheet.

THIS card of mine has been picked as CAS Perfectionist, and as a part of the prize I received a Guest Design spot for a new challenge.

The prompt word for the next two weeks is Apples.
This card is a real one-layer card without added layers of paper. To make my card I used the Fall Friends Clear Stamps and Dies set by Pink and Main (PNK | SSS).

I started with trimming the front flap at 1 1/4" and die cutting a hedgehog with a co-ordinating die on the edge of the trimmed off part.

Then I stamped an image with a help of MISTI Positioning Tool in alcohol friendly ink.
The image is coloured with Copic Sketch markers.

Using the Clouds Stencil (PNK | SSS) and two shades of Distress inks I created a cloudy sky look. I give all the supplies names at the end of this post.

From a sheet of PVC I cut a stripe sized 2 3/4" by 4 1/4" and applied Nuvo Glimmer Paste through the same stencil.
When the glitter cloud has air dried, I assembled my card with a help of high-tack tape.

Why Do I Use an Acetate Insert?

  • An acetate insert brings focus on die cutting on the edge and allows to use this technique in the center of a card.
  • Through an acetate insert I can see my card design inside.
  • It is transparent and visually does not change the inside design elements.
  • Acetate is a non-porous material and holds glitter paste without curving.

  7. Thanks for being our guest designer, Ksenija. Your card is absolutely darling with that beautifully colored, apple loving hedgehog. The inked clouds make a great background but it's that glimmer cloud on acetate that takes your card to a higher level. I'm in awe.
