Just a quickie...

 ...well time for something a little different I think,
that is different to what I normally do.
For this card I took my inspiration from a trip I made 
to the NEC craft show in Birmingham last year.
I was fascinated by the use of acetate with peel-offs. 
It gives the card that glossy shine of a peel-off 
with the added depth and dimension of  using 3D foam pads.




I followed the clean and simple sketch set by top tip tuesday.
The colour scheme was set by delightful designs, black, pink and silver.




Its a bit difficult to capture the true colour of these amazing balloon peel-offs 
as they are so intensely glittery. They are gold label peel-offs by craft creations.




These colours also happen to be my favourite colour combo.
I have made this card to thank a friend for helping me out.



I am entering this card into the following challenges:


My Mums Craft Shop Challenge 40  - favourite colour combo

Divas by Design challenge 18  - new beginnings/thanks

Delightful Challenges - black, pink and siver




Thanx for popping by...



Keep Calm and Craft xx
