Love Embossed Acetate!




Then decided to have a go after seeing a demo on Saturday. I tried to be more careful this time with the acrylic paint on the embossed acetate. Have to say I was quite pleased with this one as it looks much cleaner and certainly more pronounced. Also stayed with the theme of using colours which aren't reds, dirty pinks and black - still kept the gold though!


Do I like the card? Mmm not sure but I do like certain aspects. Still can't stamp straight though!

      Thanks for your kind words Lainey! I must admit it made a nice change to use something different. I don't know what Sara's forum is - should I have a look? If you could provide me with a link I'd be grateful. Loved your heart card by the way - something for me to aspire to!! x

    It was on the Craft Barn blog last week I think - done by Neil Walker who I think is inspirationsl.
    1. Put the acetate in your chosen embossing folder and run it through a roller machine.
    2. After, on the debossed side (Where all the dips are),brush on chosen colour of
    acrylic paint.
    3. Swipe over with a roll of kitchen paper to remove excess paint. I use a baby wipe as
    well around the edge of the painted areas to get as much off as possible.
    4. When it's all dry you can use your fingernail to scratch off any remaining paint and
    then I buff it up with a cotton wool pad to remove finger prints and any other bits
    of paint.

    Hope that makes sense Carol but if not have a look at the CB blog. Not sure if Neil has it on his but if you don't have here is his link:

    Thanks for looking by again.
