Acetate

First I must say how honoured I was to have my last weeks card chosen to be Showcased on Less is More.
This weeks challenge at Less is More was to use Acetate, well I didnt have any, but I was going to Cardiff with my Trefoil friends so felt sure I would get some there, but no, we asked and asked where there was a craft shop and didnt find one. So back home and I have used part of a carton, problem was I was unable to print on it, the sentiment came out blotchy. So thinking again I went back to some peel offs which I havent used for ages, I coloured them with whisper permanent markers. Cant say Im 100% pleased with the result, but better than nothing I guess. The sentiment is computer generated.

  3. This looks fabulous Jose... no-one would guess that it contains recycled elements!I think that your coloured Peel Offs look far better than they did originally!
    Super job!

  6. I rather like it!! The coloured peel offs compliment the card colour, and you've used a super font for the sentiment.
