I have been struggling with this card since Sunday! The Less is More challenge this week is to use Acetate. I was tempted to pass up this particular challenge, because I don't like working with this medium. But I've been a LIMette (the name they've given us LIM groupies) since the first challenge and didn't want to break my record. And challenges aren't supposed to be easy!
I didn't have much acetate and what little I had didn't last long with the first few tries. This was the last teeny, tiny scrap!
Then I had a hard time photographing this card. The butterfly was blurred in every picture I took. I guess it's the reflection. Anyway, I had to lay it down on the floor and stand directly over it to get a somewhat clear shot. I think it's still a bit blurred. It looks better IRL.
There's scoring around the butterfly window. I don't know that you can see it in the picture.
Card Recipe
Stamps: Strength & Hope, Thoughts & Prayers
Ink: Black StazOn
Paper: Basic Black, Whisper White, Acetate
Accessories: Basic Pearls (colored with a black permanent marker)
We've had beautiful weather here in NC. Maybe that's part of the reason that I am struggling with designs. It's too nice to stay inside!
Thanks for stopping in to visit.
Enjoy!

Bonnie, it's fab.
I REALLY appreciate you taking up the challenge and not just picking and choosing...it feels super to have such loyalty amongst our number!
This is just lovely, a beautiful card for a difficult occasion.
Enjoy your week.

"Less is More"
this is very cool
This is lovely Bonnie, you can see the detail a bit better if you click on your photo. x
Boy, I've been 'away' too long....haven't heard of LIMettes before!! Sounds like a perfect challenge for you, Bonnie. You are an ace at the "less is more" style and approach. I love this new butterfly...just beautiful.
Beautiful card simple and sophisticated, well done.

Now...see there...you CAN work with acetate! If it was easy, it wouldn't be a challenge! LOL! I almost didn't do a card this week either....but I glad both of us did. Sure would hate to spoil our perfect attendance record! I love how this turned out!
I thinks this is absolutely beautiful. The butterfly is wonderful and , yes, you can see the scoring around the window. It's great!
A Limette, huh? That's too cute. Love your card. I know how hard it is to photograph something when you use acetate.
Glad your weather is better...ours too, except for lots of rain and clouds.
I think you did a fabulous job with the acetate! It's amazing how much the acetate layer jazzes up a cas card!
Love this card! I really like how the addition of the acetate really makes a cas card so classy!
