CCEE Stampers Get Inky with their Acrylics

Welcome to the CCEE Stampers Challenge.  For the month of May, I (Joanne/jojot) am your hostess.  For the challenges this month, we are going to concentrate on tools and embellishments rather than themes.  Please feel free to do a faux version if you do not have the tool or embellishment.

  Here is this week's challenge.......
Get out your acrylics and your inks. I want you to create a background using inks, but no stamps or embossing folders. I also want something acrylic on your card/project. (You certainly may use stamps for your main panels….only the background must be made without stamps or embossing folders.

 Last week I went CAS with my card.  This week I worked way too hard on this one.  However, in the end I am pleased with the results.  For my background I used some spray inks on watercolor paper.  My acrylic is obviously the see-through part of the card front.  Last week I took the easy way out with my paper flower, so this week I decided to make up for it with this paper bloom mace with MFT dies.  I used a button as the center and added foliage from a number of dies.  I added the iron work borders both in and out of the front panel to hide where I adhered the acrylic sheet.

Hope you have time to stop by the CCEE Stampers Blog to see the fab creations by this very talented and friendly team.

What a gorgeous design, Joanne! I love the beautiful blossom and vines which "appear" to hold the top and bottom panel together! What a wonderful card with your acetate front!

How beautiful, and I almost missed the acrylic piece holding it all together! I too used spray inks (I love them, even though they are very messy!), and your layout is the best of the best this week!!!
