Hi friends! Today I have a clear card to share with an alcohol ink background and dimensional paper flowers.

I really like to make cards from acetate. You can make them more or less transparent by adding various media and stamping. Here I colored the card front with alcohol ink, aiming for textures. The flowers were die cut with Simon Says Stamp Divine Peony from the Sunny Vibes release, and inked with Distress Ink.

Start by die cutting the Divine Peony from heavystock paper. Later, I die cut it one more time.

Color the Simon Says Stamp Acetate Card with alcohol ink. Dabb on different colors ink with a felt ink-blending tool. To add even more texture, dabb alcohol ink blending solution on the background too.

The sentiment was stamped with Simon Says Stamp Create stamp set and die cut with the coordinating Create dies. Die cut it once more from dark brown cardstock for a shadow.

I like that the Divine Peony set also includes a flower bud.

I made one of the flowers mainly blue and the other turquoise.

This sentiment also comes from Simon Says Stamp Create and was die cut with the coordinating die. I also added some fibers to the card, as soil. I have had these for a very long time.

The card has quite a bit of dimension. The back is entirely clear, but you can add a piece of cardstock to it to write a message.

It is hard to photograph clear cards. Here you can see that the card is transparent.
