Hi lovely peeps - this is a very quick post tonight, as we are dashing out to babysit, so musn't be late!
This is a card for the PREDOMINANTLY PURPLE CHALLENGE at Less Is More..
I have inked one side of an acetate strip with Alcohol Inks - Wild Plum, Raisin, Denim and a touch of Stream and Butterscotch, with a sprinkling of gold leaf flakes here and there.
Acetate attached to the white card with black brads.
A black line drawn onto the card along both long edges, using a Pilot Hi-Tecpoint Extra-fine pen - a very handy little crafting tool.

The Chocolate Baroque stamp on the front is from the Floral Bouquet set, and inked with Black Staz-on.
Sentiment from Hero Arts (must buy some new sentiment stamps - I keep
using the same old stash - sorry)!
*************
Evening indoor lighting isn't the best for photographing acetate - may try again in the morning!
Hope it doesn't look TOO bad!
Friday Update - have changed the photo - it's a bright sunny morning so managed to take a picture I'm happier with!

The alcohol ink creation is stunning ! Love the less is more concept ! Cheers
Such a beautiful card, Sylvia. I love how you used inks on acetate and then sprinkled with gold flakes...fabulous!!
Thank you for answering my plea for help. I'm afraid that I'm not very technically minded and I tend to panic when things don't go right with my computer. I can now leave comments...thank goodness! And I have managed to import my favourites, but I think it will take me a couple of days to get used to the new format with Chrome. Thank again! xxx
Wow that it stunning and I love that colour its gorgeous. hugs Shirleyxxx
