In my last post I mentioned an inked piece that I didn’t think I liked much, however, once it was dry I realized it wasn’t so bad. Stamp used is an MFT background stamp. Thinking that a 2nd post for the Color Hues challenge might be fun I cut the panel down a bit. In searching for something else I came across this acetate piece that had the fancy border with bright orange sparkle in places and out of curiosity I laid it over the top of my piece. I quite liked how it looked so I attached it by using glue underneath the sparkly bits and then adding the entire panel to a piece of black CS. The sentiment is also from MFT again backed with a piece of black. The inked flowers used Cracked Pistachio, Twisted Citron, carved pumpkin and spiced marmalade inks. I also added some Opal blaze to this piece as I did in the previous post but the shimmer isn’t visible in the photo. The acetate overlay border is done in several shades of green with a hint of orange which is why I used it even though it is busy looking card. I can’t remember when I bought these acetate overlays but as with many things, I do eventually use them. I even have a small strip left of the main image panel to use at a later date. Not bad for an initial ‘I don’t like it’ reaction. Have a great weekend everyone.

Those overlay sheets were in a package and I think I only used 2 until now. I still have one left and have it stored more prominently so I don’t forget about it. Glad you like the card.
