June Blog Hop!

It is that time again!  This month’s challenge was to use acetate (clear transprancy).   I got the idea for my card a few weeks ago, but due to summer I was not able to put it together untill today.  It was a challenge.   I forgot how long it takes ink to dry on acetate (so please forgive an smudges).  I will probably remake this when I get the chance.  Also any hints on attaching acetate?  (also please forgive any visible tape).
