I’m still favoring Halloween on today’s card, and it features acetate!. Tex’s Tip: When stamping on acetate (transparencies), carefully stamp straight down onto the acetate, then lift your stamp straight up from the image. Be aware that acetate can be a slippery surface.

First, I stamped the fence image atop the acetate using black Stazon ink. Then, Copic Markers were used to color the fence from the back side of the image. The scarecrow image was stamped on Neenah White cardstock, masked, and the background was added with my Copic Spray System. The entire scene was finished, including Stickles and Spica glitz, before assembling the layers of the finished card.
The front pumpkin and the moon are lifted on foam tape for added dimension. I love the way the 3-D moon seems to have a true shadow depending upon the angle of light on the card!

Here’s the open view of the card, when you lift up the acetate “fence” layer!
I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s acetate project! Thanks so much for stopping by!
