So I have taken a deep breath and had a go at making an acetate card ... only ever made one before and it was a disaster!!!
I have kept it all reaslyy simple ... just using 1 stamp. I stamped the image in black versafine not white cardstock and matted it onto black. I made a white and black mat the same size to go inside the card for the message. Using black cardstock I punched the detail that hopefully adds support so the card stands up!!! I stamped the image again into the corners of the card using white stzon, then assembled the card ... finally adding a gingham ribbon.
Then I breathed!!! No smudging that I can see ... bigger challenge was getting a photo of it!!!
I am also entering this into this week's Totally Gorguss challenge ... no patterned papers.
Off to recover with a cuppa!!!

Hi Cathy
Hope you enjoyed the cuppa! What a lovely elegent card - and you've only used acetate once before... I think you should use acetate more often if this is how your cards turn out - gorgeous!
