This image from Seasonal Circles lends itself so well for emboss resist. First I stamped it with Versamark on Pearlized White cardstock, and embossed it with Clear Detail EP. Then I stamped the greeting (from Winter Wonder) in Versamark, then in Palette Hybrid Noir, and then embossed with Black Detail EP. I love embossing these scripty greetings...it makes them sooo pretty! I then sponged the image with Groovy Guava, Close to Cocoa, and Chocolate Chip ink.
The diamonds are layered in the order I sponged, first Guava, then Cocoa, and then Chocolate Chip, then a white layer on the very back. I added some hardware on the main panel and tied this yummy May Arts ribbon around to finish it off.

Thanks for posting on your Acetate card- i was beginning to think i was the only one to not know the "trick"! I posted on my blog for advice on acetate and have 2 recommendations i'll pass on- haven't tried them yet- but will tomorrow.

I’ve been using the Apollo Brand (#PP100C - non-striped). It states it’s “Plain Paper Copier Transparency Film”.

I’ve found the best luck with the Staples laser printer brand ones. These ones: http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?CatIds=&webid=476824&affixedcode=WW.
Although I found a 100-pack in store. I found these ones are sturdy enough to hold a scored fold for a while, plus, you can emboss on them!
Great job on your card!
Acetate IS a bugger to photograph, isn't it? But you did a great job and this card is gorgeous!
ohhhhh I love your acetate card...just beautiful! (and you lucky duck...that is some awesome ribbon and a super cute card.)
