Quick description of how I made this card
This card was a disaster turned frosty beauty! I started off attempting to foil the acetate card. I had successfully foiled two of them prior to this, but I had a vision if white snowflakes for a card idea I had. Well… This is where the disaster struck. For some reason, the foil stuck something awful! Yes, I had the acetate the right way, it just loved ever inch of that panel and stuck, all over. It was also extremely splotchy!
So, wanting to persevere, I had a thought about adding alcohol ink to the back with the foil, in an attempt to save this card. Well, it worked! I added a bunch of ink, and love the way it colored the white foil, but allowed for the texture to come through. I added the panel to the same color of the cardstock I used for the florals and viola!
