I was given a packet of acetate sheets a while ago. Not quite sure what I was going to do with them, I experimented a bit. I made a few boxes for chocolates and sweets (no photos I'm afraid) and then began trying to make cards with them.
My first card was a Christmas card where I used a small square of acetate as a window with star sequins and punched white circles behind. This was raised using strips of foam tape so that it became like a mini snow globe.

For my next card I used the idea of little windows again. I used a laminator to seal pressed flowers inside and made a little flower shop.

My next couple of cards are a bit different as I used the acetate as the main material.

It's a great material for adding layers to a picture, as demonstrated by the dragonfly card (although this is hard to photograph). Each additional layer of acetate brings something new to the overall effect and image.
