Alcohol Inks on Acetate

Hi everyone.  Today's card is made from my stash of leftover bits.  I had a piece of alcohol inked acetate with a two shades each of blue and green.  I placed it behind a white die-cut of framed trees (from AliExpress) and popped it up on my card base.  The sentiment is from Poppy Stamps (retired).

Close-up ...
I love when I can create a quick and easy card! :)

I'm entering this card into Seize the Birthday Challenge #269 where Anything Birthday goes.  I opted out of the Topping this time.

... and I'm sending this to Simply Clean & Simple September Challenge where Anything CAS goes.  I didn't use the Optional Theme this time. 


Thanks for stopping by!

So beautiful Loll.

I'm looking through those trees at the most gorgeous backdrop, Loll.

Loll, your AI background is so gorgeous, and it works perfectly to showcase your lovely trees. BTW, I was able to get my watermark to work. It turns out all I needed to do was install Publisher, Excel, Word etc. They were all showing on the computer but apparently were not installed. How would I know that? Lol. Thanks for joining us at Seize the Birthday.

Beautiful CAS design! Adding colorful acetate in the background is a great idea for a beautiful card. These trees look like wind-blown willows. Great effect
