Designing cards with acetate and stazon!

This came out absolutely beautiful!  I couldn't be happier.  Very hard to photograph though.  I took a piece of acetate, cut it for a 5x7 card and the stamped swirls all over the cover with white stazon ink.  Then I used brads to adhere the front flower piece.  It then became clear that I should use the xyron to adhere the other pieces!  The flower is done by transferring a sticker to double sided adhesive and then using glitter ritz for color.
