House of Card - Seeing Clear

Hello crafty friends :o)  I've been busily working in my yard this weekend, trying to get things done before the 4 days of much needed rains comes in.  Lots of mulch and flowerbed cleaning.

I'm here today with a new challenge at House of Cards.  This month's challenge is to use "Clear Papers".  I have never made a clear card before, so it was a challenge ( a challenge I might have to try again differently)


I decided to use acetate paper, but I only have 2 colors of staz on ink, which limited what I made. When I saw this sentiment from MFT, I knew what to do.


I stamped some butterflies on the front.  On the very bottom of the front, I embossed some butterflies.

 Here's the butterflies that you can't see.

Check out the rest of the DT inspiration!  Hope to see you in the challenge.

stamps used: MFT: free sentiments, Unity: with her own wings
paper used:  Acetate, Bazzill
embellishment: Tim Holtz: Springtimw Background & borders set

Isn't acetate fun!! You will be using it more often now, that you made such an amazing card! The embossing of the butterflies at the bottom is a great touch!
