Here is my card for the last February Verve with a Twist sketch. The twist was to use acetate. I have never used acetate before (bowing my head in shame) though I have always admired the acetate cards I've seen in the gallery. So, I decided to jump in with both feet and not just have an acetate panel, but an actual acetate card.
I now have one acetate card under my belt along with a few important "notes to self" LOL! Note to self #1: Make sure you know where your glue dots are - enough said! Note to Self #2: Don't use brads on the clear acetate as the backs show when opened - duh! I had to trim the backs with some wire clippers I thankfully had and managed to find quickly so they wouldn't show when splayed open (can you tell I did this late at night LOL).
Once it was all said and done, I quite liked this card - especially the green and brown together. I cased the layered sentiment layout from a card by Stephanie Hargis.
Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day

Gorgeous card, Marisa! Love the colors, the cuttlebug embossing and your acetate tips. This was my first acetate card too, and I still need to cover the unsightly glue marks etc. on the inside!

Your acetate card is lovely! I have STILL not used acetate. Tried once, but it was so flimsy it would never have stood up! Guess I've got the wrong stuff but you are making me want to go find the right stuff and try it finally!!
