Today's Inspiration Challenge is Agraria San Francisco. I was inspired by this row of candles for set of my birthday cards.
When I saw the glass containers I immediately thought I could emboss a piece of acetate to look like them. I used a Houndstooth Embossing folder and layered the acetate over a colored cardstock panel. I attached the acetate to the card at the top with two brads - as adhesive ALWAYS shows through on acetate!
I used the same colors of ink as the paper on each card for the sentiment and design on the ovals. I layered the ovals over the acetate with foam dots.
I actually made 5 of these cards today - not shown is one in teal and one in dark purple.
I needed birthday cards for my stash - so today's challenge got it done! I'm late making them today as I had my adorable 5 yr old grandniece Mila with me for most of the day and we did crafts, coloring and school workbooks all day!

You've made these look so shiny and pretty, just like your inspiration candles! I wasn't aware that you could emboss on acetate. Good for you getting a bunch of cards done ahead of schedule~

What perfect cards to re-stock your stash ... they are perfect for any occasion (sometimes I put my adhesive behind my sentiment and just attach it in the center) ... fabulous inspired designs.

Beautifully inspired. Love how you translated the candles into cards. Never thought to emboss on acetate. It looks amazing. Love the oval greeting and the matching brads. Well done! TFS
