Hello! It's Papertrey release day and my day off! Woo hoo! ;-D I had a great deal of fun in my craft room making this card. Just Us Girls' challenge this week was to use the "acrylic smash" technique. Not only had I never tried this technique, I had never even heard of it! So of course I had to try it! It involves putting acrylic paint on the back of a stamped piece of acetate card stock, and wasn't hard at all, although it was a teeny bit messy and there's room for improvement. :-) I used the color palette from Heather Pulvirenti's Totally Hues #3 challenge because a) I loved it, and b) it references PTI colors, so I had the exact right ones. I can see myself using this color combo again, for sure.
Did you see what stamp set I used on the acetate? Yep, that's 2010's CHA exclusive set, Four of a Kind! After forever being too late to nab the ones that go on sale on the PTI forum from time to time, I lucked out--Lisa from Oregon (West Coast) put her items up at night, and I was the first person to PM her about this set! I will NOT let this year's CHA go by without a proxy shopper!

I love the color combo of your card and I have no idea what acrylic smash is. and whoa, woman, you must be an all-or-nothing kind of gal, lol! You're quiet and then all of a sudden - wham, posting left and right! I can't keep up, lol.
Love this card! I have never tried that technique, but it looks great and sounds like a lot of fun. Lucky you for grabbing that set. I hope to get a proxy shopper as well. Try as I might for the 2010 set, I am always two steps behind. Very nice!

This is a fun card, Jill. Your acrylic smash backing the flowers reminds me of van Gogh's sunflower painting. The tulle is a great touch.
