CBGM - Use Of Acetate Challenge - 7 July

Hello and welcome back to my blog!

It's time for another challenge from Gill McCall at Creations By Gill M.  I am part of the Design Team at Creations By Gill M and as a team, we provide the inspiration for the challenges.  You can take part too and enter the challenges.  The design team always come back and look at what you've made and we always leave comments about what you've made.

If you want to be in with a chance of winning a challenge, there's just 3 small things you have to do:

2)  Mention that you are entering the challenge within your post

3)  Complete the details required so that we can view your blog and see what you've made!

This weeks challenge is to make a card using acetate.  

I've used another design set from the Hunky Dory Adorable Scoreable pack.  It's a pearl anniversary card I've made for my Mum's friend.  I scored a piece of A4 acetate to make a landscape stepper card and then used the following materials to complete the card:

Pink Ribbon - Wide and Narrow

Hi-Tac Red Double Sided Sticky Tape

3D Foam 

Pinflair Glue

Pink & White Pearl Adhesive Gems

White Pearl Card

Double Sided Sticky Tape

This is the card:

I hope you like my card, I'd love to hear what you think of it so please leave a comment for me.

Good luck!  Can't wait to see what you make!
