Acetate and Vellum

Today I am posting a card that took me out of the box.

Remember the packaging your dies and other tools come in?  Well, I always keep the acetate packaging because it is a lot of fun to use on cards. I used the acetate packaging from a Spellbinders die set and ran it through a Darice Cherry Blossom embossing folder; then I used a brayer to ink the raised pattern with white ink.

I tried all sorts of adhesives that just didn't work; after each failed attempt I used Goo Gone to get rid of the adhesive that didn't work. Finally I just used a spray adhesive and that worked better than anything else I had tried. It is adhered to a matte silver paper background.  The butterfly is cut in two layers:  one with silver patterned paper (this was from an old Tim Holtz silver card set that I just had to have years ago, but never used). The back side of the TH card is the silver backing for the acetate, and the front embossed side of the card I die cut with a Memory Box Darla Butterfly die; the same die was used to cut a vellum piece that is adhered on top of the base butterfly. The body of the butterfly is glittered with silver.

The sentiment is from a Tiny Sentiments SU bundle which I have had for three or four years (it may be retired by now...); again, a silver paper is on bottom and the top vellum layer is stamped and heat embossed with silver embossing powder.

I am entering this card in the following challenges ending:

Romans 10:9-10  If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.  NLT

Acts 13:38-39  "Brothers, listen! We are here to proclaim that through this man Jesus there is forgiveness for your sins. Everyone who believes in him is declared right with God--something the law of Moses could never do."  NLT

A simple prayer for salvation:  O, God! I know that I am a sinner!  I thank You that Jesus Christ, Your holy Son, was born of a virgin, came and lived a sinless life here on earth, and died on the cross as a sinless sacrifice for my sin. He is no longer dead, but rose from the dead and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.  I accept His atonement for every sin I have ever committed, and receive Your salvation. I put all of my trust in Jesus Christ of Nazareth and receive Him as Lord of my life from this moment on. Thank You, Father God, for this grace given to me!

2 Corinthians 5:17  This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!  NLT
