Less Is More Week 11 - Acetate

 The Less Is More challenge for week 11 is to use acetate. For this, I've cut the Sizzix owl die from acetate twice and coloured it with alcohol inks, one it light tones and the other darker. I cut the darker one and layered it onto the lighter one. The corners are pricked and the frame is embossed onto the card with a nestie. The greeting is by Woodware.

  1. did you find the inks took a lot longer to dry? I was going to experiment with this, but in the end settled for something a little less messy :)
