This was hard!.... it bugged me... why oh why did I come up with this idea?..... after several attempts here it is.... Silver fairy dancing in the flowers.
I wont go into why it became difficult, suffice it to say keeping it LIM ... unable to hide things, glue! having to use ribbon in the end... :o)
This was supposed to be a quick card!
The card is embossed with a Cuttlebug the acetate is heat embossed and made into a wrap around the card. i.e. two layers

LOL I had the same problems with the breeze. Your card is extremely effective and I love the fairy. Tracy x
Your card is really pretty - know what you mean about quick card - my entries for LIM never are quick!!
This is super Suzi!
I agree that photographing acetate is difficult, but it looks really good.
Is the dry embossing heat embossed? or is it 2 layers?
Great job!

You made me chuckle with the shot of the moving card lol.

I love the depth you got from the embossing! I think we all had difficulty photographing our creations!
"... photographing acetate is difficult"
I don't know which camera you have. I have a pentax.
"ISO 3200", no flash, a strong lamp on the left or right side of the card - and you got it ;)
Wow what a gorgeous card you made! Love the whole idea
What you have done is so clever Suzi. It is really beautiful and technically really difficult...how fabulous!!!
Worth all the effort!
Also thank you for your lovely comments!
Sue xx
Agree photographing this stuff is difficult and attaching it without that showing but you have done both brilliantly and made a fantastic card, love your embossing with both the folder and the fairy. XOXO Zoe
Just beautiful! :D

Super card . . . well done for persevering on all fronts!
Hugs, Sandra
This is really lovely, the embossing folder and stamp complement each other beautifully. Couldn't link to you through the LIM blog but got you through the comment you left me. Thanks. x
A fabulous card despite the headache it's caused you. Sue.x
What a wonderful card - worth all the effort. Had to chuckle over your commentary and pic of the card blowing away. Gotta keep our sense of humour!
Cheers, Karen

Suzi, thank you for your lovely camping story. Sounds as if you found a magical location.
Red wine and shooting stars...how memorable.
I am not sure where I am going yet; the magical places are usually a long way from home.
Rain on the roof....lovely!!!!!!!!!

Love your fairy and the embossing behind. It's difficult when you get an idea in your head and can't let it go but this has worked out perfectly. x
This is absolutely beautiful. It reminds me of an art nouveau pewter vase that we used to have when I was a child. I'm so pleased you overcame your photographic challenges to share this!
This really made me smile! I think photographing the acetate is almost as tough as the challenge itself. However, I think you've made a lovely card - the fairy looks fabulous!
Beautiful card! Love that fairy...it can be so difficult to stamp on that slick surface, but your image looks perfect! So crisp and clean!
beautiful textures and shades - the image is perfect...
Thanks for sharing!
