I love finding different wats to use my stash of products and recently I have been playing with my Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Designer Acetate. Finding different ways to use the sheets
Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Designer Acetate
You can find this amazing, coloured acetate on Page 135 of the Annual Catalogue
Seascape
The pattern on the acetate looked very much like underwater bubbles. So pairing the acetate with the Seascape bundle seemed an obvious choice.
Check out those wonderful dies
Acetate Glass Seahorse thank you cards
By adding some additional dies cut and embossed layers you can really imagine that cute little seahorse bobbling about in the ocean.
It was a no brainer to chose some of the Rainbow Glimmer paper for the seahorse. He loos so cute in those sparkly tropical ocean colours
How to make These Acetate Glass Seahorse thank you cards.
- Emboss Layer 1 with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder.
- Add to the card with glue
- Die cut layers 2 & 3 with the second largest Scalloped Contour Label dies
- Trim off the Scallops around the second layer of basic Basic White
- Take your piece of Glass Acetate and using the non coloured side scribble some Stampin’ Blends over the the surface.
- Then take a little rubbing alcohol and dab over the blends to create a mottled effect
- Die cut the seahorse (NB the die won’t cut out a whole shape so you will need to snip out the three areas where the image is still attached.
- Add the the glass acetate with mini glue dots
- Attach the acetate to the basic white layer with mini glue dots strategically placed behind the Seahorse.
- Wrap some ribbon around and tie in a bow.
- Adhere to Layer 2 with glue
- Add the whole topper to the base card with Dimensionals
- Head emboss the sentiment in White on a scrap of Night of Navy card
- Fussy cut the sentiment and add to the card with mini Dimensionals
- Add a little metallic pearl ‘eye’
- Finish with some gems
- Don’t forget to decorate the inside!
