Clear & Sheer Day 3

It's me again -

Just popping in with another card I made for the Clear & Sheer online class ... Day 3 was about using acetate and the team gave some fine examples and tips ... I've used acetate many times with shaker cards and even as overlays but I find them so hard to photograph


Anyway, I didn't follow any of the design team samples but I was inspired by Debbie Hughes's card where she creates a scene on acetate and I also love Jennifer McGuire's card that she posted some time ago Here...

Here's my card


I have to confess when I was making this I was thinking of our little cat Gipsy who died a couple of weeks ago ... 


After I made this card I noticed on Pinterest that a lady by the name of Deb Lancaster made a beautiful card using this design... It's really gorgeous.. You can see it Here


 Ok, so I have packing to do ... A job I really do not like to do - I can never decide what to take 

Have a beautiful day and I'll be back tomorrow with City Crafters

Beautiful card, and a hug for the pain you have thinking of Gipsy!
Have fun for your vacation though, I used to be like that when comes to packing when I was younger, now I just pack the night before we leave for a trip.

It's great to see how you try out new techniques and designs on acetate ( love that bird card with snow you once sent me..) I love this card! And Gispsy; all I can see is that I know how much you miss her...
