LIMette-a-go-go!

WOW!  I've never used acetate in my card making (or anything!) before, so this week's Less Is More challenge had me...
1 - running to the shops (hmm, some excuse!)
2 - overflowing with ideas... mostly beyond me but some within my limited capability!

So, straight to it...

Now, my designs are inspired by LIMette Jo Capper-Sandon (entrant #10) who's challenge card is utter perfection.

... but I couldn't get my head around where to write the message for whomever's birthday it might be so my designs have incorporated writing panels for my ridiculous scrawl!

Firstly, and my first of two entries for the challenge, a simple use of embellishments...

colours: Old Olive, Regal Rose
embellishments: ? soz, dunno

I also made this card, which whilst in real life I truely love, as a photo it doesn't show the use of acetate.  Basically the stamp (SU Belle Toile) is on the acetate, with a masked oval for the sentiment window.  The sentiment (SU Teeny Tiny Sentiments) is then stamped on the white underlay.  In real life, it looks almost tile-like whilst creating shadows on the white underlay when in the right light.  My photography skills however, do not reflect this!!  Hence not entering it into challenge.

Second entry to follow!  Thanks for looking!
