I must admit that when I saw Chrissie & Mandi's challenge over at Less is More I was a little stumped as to what I would do. I don't often use acetate as I haven't had very good experiences with it. I have tried making cards with little success and I have bought acetate shapes only to realize later on I just don't know what to do with them. But... I so enjoy the Less is More challenges that I knew I would over come my hesitation and managed to come up with a card. It helped that I had started working on an idea for a card for the current color challenge over at ColourQ. I dug around in my stash and came up with some acetate shapes that I had bought a few years ago. One was this bracket that I inked up with Staz-On White Cotton ink. The little dress form comes from one of my favorite small stamp sets from PaperTrey Ink, as does the sentiment. I was going to put the buttons on the card in a different spot, but thought they would look better grouped with the other items.
Thanks for taking a peek....

Great take on the challenge Rosemary! I am "afraid" of acetate,so I too have no idea what to do. But it's encouraging to see that you can use it so sparingly! I totally love your card with that dress form!
Well, I think you rocked both challenges very nicely! That acetate bracket looks very cool! Thanks for playing with the CQC this week!
