Picture frame using acetate Christmas Card....

This week is Stash challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.    This has proved to be a learning exercise for me.  I have only used acetate once on a simple card at a friends house.  I looked on Pinterest and saw some great cards,  but I just couldn't figure out how to make sure the backside of the acetate looked as good as the front.  So for this card I chose not to show the back side. I do like what I came up with, and it is much prettier than it looks in the photo!   Hopefully in the future I will be more adventurous.   You will find that the Design Team has created some beautiful cards for this challenge.     

The image that I used is a precolored download from Musings by Carolyn  on ETSY.  Carolyn has been a joy to work with when I have needed something different.  Her style appeals to me.   So you will continue to see her artwork on my cards in the coming months.  

I love making cards that a combination of digital and traditional stamping and other activities associated with cardmaking.   Some bloggers use the term "hybrid" for these cards.  For the digital I use "Paint" (factory installed on computer) and Microsoft Word.    I tried a "specific" program for using digital and just couldn't get the knack of it it, to be honest.

Thank you for stopping by and as always I would love to see what you create in our 52 CCT Gallery.   Also, be sure to check out Carolyn's shop to see her beautiful creations!        Smiles,  Kathy
