I believe this is the first acetate card I've ever made.  Sure, I've seen 'em "around" for a couple of years now, but never actually attempted one myself before.  So not having had any sample on hand to follow, it took me a while to "reinvent the wheel" of the structure of this thing, but overall I'm ok with how this one turned out for my first attempt. 

BTW, this flower image is from the FABULOUS stamp set "Wagon Full of Fun", which will be in the upcoming Occasions Mini Catalog (April – June), but is available right NOW as a sneak peek!  Did I mention I ADORE this stamp set, btw?  The various elements of the flower image use paper-piecing, with the Delicate Dots DSP available for free as a Sale-a-Bration reward.  (The ribbon is a free SAB reward, too.) 

This card is actually a card within a card.  There's the white card (2-1/2" square), mounted to the front surface of the acetate card (4" square).  My greatest challenge was in figuring out what to use to adhere the inner card to the outer – without the adhesive showing too much.  I finally settled on my old standby – Stampin' Up!'s SNAIL adhesive, my good ol' favorite.  I just placed a teeny little bit in each of the 4 corners of the inner card.

But then not only did it still show (a little), but I was also nervous about it not holding real well – or at least allowing the inner card to shift.  (And if you know me at all, you know that would just not do!)  So I decided to put little jewels of some kind in 3 corners and a ribbon in the other.  Problem is, I didn't have any appropriate "little jewels". 

So I grabbed some of our mini brads, dipped 'em into white embossing powder & heated with my heat tool, then repeated several more times until they were white.  Then dipped several more times into Dazzling Diamonds glitter, heating in between until I was happy with the degree of white and sparkle. And then those brads became not only my "jewels", but also my "can't move this now!" corner anchors!

So whatdya think?!?  Leave me a comment and let me know!
