"Where You Are Planted" - acetate box with three acetate cards

Servus!

I am feeling truly blessed at the moment because my creativity seems to be at maximum level. Autumn always is "my" time. The autumnal Vienna Woods are a well of inspiration that never dries out. Nature standing on the brink of decay, bursting with last intense colours and textures...it is the visual intensity of that time of year that I love most and that I hope to one day be able to capture in my work accordingly.

At the moment I feel I am still practicing on it...but I am getting closer ;)

I also love to turn trash into treasure and I can never throw away packaging materials like corrugated card, acetate or little boxes and all that stuff others regard as being trash. I have a whole box filled with the acetate packages the Sizzix dies come in, as I love their sturdiness. This time I have created a little acetate box with three acetate journal cards. I hope you'll like it!

This is how the box looks when being closed and with the cards inside. 

It is tied up with a black leather cord. 

The beautiful images on the acetate journal cards are stamped to the backsides of the front acetate sheets and are Indigo Blu and Penny Black designs.

The cards' backsides were decorated with acrylic paints and quotes stickers and then covered with another acetate sheet.

This image shows the front acetate layer with white Gesso painted to its back. 

The three layers (acetate, black cardstock, acetate) are held together by eyelets. 

The acetate box is decorated with a quote as well.

Thanks for stopping by!
