I made this card in a recent Facebook Live. One of my customers wanted to see some ideas to use their Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Acetate card and this was one of the cards we made. You can see the replay HERE
This card has been made using the Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Designer Acetate. It makes such a stunning and unusual card base
By building up layers of distressed and textured card you can really create a soft and subtle vintage feel. Perfect for those acts of kindness that you may wish to create and send.
