Happy Birthday, CAS Mix-Up! I can't believe it's been two years. It seems like just yesterday I was having fun trying new techniques to make cards for your challenge. This month it's working with acetate.
I used alcohol ink on acetate and then stamped the background stamp from PB (one that I forgot I had) in archival ink on the opposite side. I used a frame die for the sentiment and colored it with Distress Inks to match the alcohol ink.
I hope you're having a good day. I just returned from a wonderful Lenten Breakfast that the women of our church hosted for area churches. Yesterday we made cinnamon rolls and I was in early this morning baking breakfast casseroles and making curried fruit. My husband and a couple of other men did the dishes while we enjoyed a musical program. Next week another church is hosting a Lenten Luncheon. It's good to get together with a like community of women - sort of like our crafty blogging friends.

Wow Bobby, this is a show stopper!! Sorry I haven't been by for a few days. A little under the weather and extra busy. I took a stroll back in time and love each and every one! The flowers with the little picket fence is extra sweet!
Wow, Bobby ... what a gorgeous background ... the sense of depth is fantastic! Your Lenten Breakfast sounds a lovely event ... and delicious (yum, cinnamon rolls!)! Hugs, Anita :)
The second technique I've seen this morning that is on my list of ones to try! The purples are stunning, Bobby!

LOVE your colors, this card is just beautiful. Great use of the acetate with the alcohol inks. I really like the window too - excellent!!! Oh, and my mom used to make curried fruit. I forgot about that.
Vibrant and beautiful alcohol ink background. Great stamping and love how you matched the distress inks with the alcohol inks for the sentiment. Thank you for sharing about the Lenten Luncheon. Thank you for joining in at The CAS Mix Up Challenge with this beautiful card x
