Less is More Week 11: Acetate

I love acetate cards!
I just think there is something really slick (not really any pun intended) about them.  They're cool.  Different.  Unique.   I've made a few in the past, but only a few.  Because I drive myself crazy with all the fingerprints I get all over the acetate.  I know.  OCD.   But, I digress.  I made this card a while ago, and just recently pulled it out because the daughter of a close friend is graduating from college in a few weeks and I thought she would like this card.  And then!  Wouldn't you know it!   The Less is More week 11 challenge is all about using acetate in a card.  Well, this card is all about the acetate.  Perfectly trimmed cardstock is used both on the inside front and the back of the card in order to hide all the adhesive used on the outside front panel and inside back panel.  That was tougher than it sounds.  But it all worked out well and I am pleased.

And a peek on the inside:

The sentiment is from Inkadinkadoo and was black embossed onto gold glossy cardstock.  The gold, cream and black glossy cardstock and gold floss are all from my stash and the graduation cap is from Jolee's.
Thanks for peeking!
