I made this card for the October mini-VSN challenge called "Preparing in the Okiya". The task here was to "create a card that wears a mask, one that enhances the main image without hiding it, an accent".
I seem to have Christmas cards on the brain and this snowy mask just seemed appropriate for my pine trees. I am a little disappointed that my sentiment does not show as clearly, as my acetate will not lay completely flat.
Thanks for looking!
ETA: I was browsing the challenge gallery after I posted this and noticed that CAS38 for this week is a Ways to Use it challenge (brads/eyelets). Woohoo, love my mini brads holding my acetate overlay onto my cardstock and stamped image!!! Is it possible I have a psychic connection? Doubtful ;)

I think you have just nailed two challenges in one beautiful card.

The brads are a great way to hold down the acetate. The top note die was a cool choice for framing your main image, always looks so classy. Very cute card!
