I'm making a pink card for my sister's birthday, obviously it is not going to match the blush pink but, does anyone have any great ways of sticking acetate to glitter card. I can stick it to other card using a tape runner and it conceals it very well, even conceals it on the glitter card but it won't stay stuck. I've tried a few other glues this evening but they don't to stick or they show through. Can't put a ribbon on either. May have to re-think this completely.
Anyway, I have lots of different glues so if anyone can think of something please let me know quickly, it has to be finished to give her on Wednesday!

Susie I remember years ago i bought some glue dots that where for vellum /acetate they didn't show through
I can't remember the make and don't know if still on market but they came in a box and on a roll
I sometimes find glitter card a problem to stick

I would use my Pinflair and cover it with an embellishment.
It's a gorgeous Pink.,so now I have to use it! It's DILs birthday next week so I need to make a card..at least now I know what colour it will be so that's a step forward.

Glitter card is always a problem. I usually scrape away the glitter from the area I want to stick over to reveal the card underneath however if your acetate is clear that's not going to work. Have you tried silicone glue? Unsightly I know but Elaine's suggestion of an embellishment to conceal what's underneath is a good one.

Thanks for all the ideas. Normally, I would scrape the glitter away but it needs the glitter to make it really sparkle through. I'll take a photo and you'll see what I mean. Last night, I covered all under the flowers with Collall photo glue and put books on top of it and so far so good. I would use a butterfly or flower on top and hide the glue under that but I've printed everything on to the acetate, so there is no room for an extra embellishment. I should have thought this through better.

Okay here's her card, very simple and it's pink - not blush but it's a start. I've used the flower frame on the insert to write her sentiment. So far the flowers seem to have hidden the glue, now if only it can stay stuck down.

Thanks for your kind comments, it has another box on top of it now. I'll tell her to lie it flat and put something heavy on it each night it is still up. We will laugh but it is nerve wracking, you just want everything to go perfectly for her big 60.
She rang before to say Boots had sent her the offers you get when you're 60, she's over the moon - it doesn't take much to make us happy does it!

What a stunning card!
I'm curious what do you get offers on when you're 60.. Please don't tell me it's Tena Lady!
