Playing with bargains

I picked up quite a few bargains whilst on hols, and amongst them were some Kay and Co, patterned and slightly sparkled acetate sheets and some sparkled and stitched adornments:

Man, what fun and games here to attach the acetate, the prospect of a bargain overruled common sense and I forgot how tricky fixing acetate can be - ha, hence the bargain perhaps!

In the end I opted for using some of an A4 double sided sticky sheet to fix the acetate to a piece of cream card - but even that took a couple of goes - waaaaay too easy to get air bubbles between the acetate and the sticky unless you go very slowly and smooth it as you work from one end. So one wrecked acetate sheet right away :(

However, I think the result is quite cheerful - sort of Summer flowers in Autumn colours.

I used

- 7" x 5" cream card stock

- Kay and Co. acetate sheet mounted onto cream card from the snippets folder and a couple of embellishments - I do like the teeny bee, buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :)

- terracotta-ish Core'dinations card as a backing, with one end punched using a lacy Martha Stewart punch

- a snippet of green grosgrain ribbon

I would say 'simples' if it hadn't taken so long to sort the acetate out!
