I  recently  bought  another  CD from  Whoopsie daisy  and  couldn't  wait  to use  it  as there were  so many  lovely  designs on it  . Rather  than just  printing  the design on  card  I  decided  to  print it on  acetate  but  also  on  card  as  the  design I chose  was pale .  I managed  to  match  them both up  so  they  could  be  seen  together  . The  photos  show this .
The  design  I chose is  bubble  fairy  from  the  Daisy  May  and  friends CD  .
Once  I had  cut  the  aperture  for the  acetate  I  dry  embossed  the  base  card using  a rain  type  folder  . I  die  cut  bubbles  using glitter  film  card  and stickles   from  Little  Claire  using  a  bright bubbles  die  from Sissix . The sentiment is  from  my  stash  ,
