Demo: Acetate Backgrounds

1/11/2018

 
Demo this week was really fun!! Denise was the Demonstrator and she showed us how to make really cool Acetate Backgrounds!!

To make these miniature bits of art, you will need:
  • A piece of Acetate
  • A piece of tissue paper (similar in size to the acetate)
  • Crystal Lacquer
  • Alcohol inks
  • Embellishments such as die-cut shapes, textured ribbon, sequins, and/or glitter!

The process:

*We suggest you use a Craft Mat to do this!*
  • Take a piece of Acetate and pour out a little pool of Crystal Lacquer
  • Use a wooden skewer to move the Crystal Lacquer across the entire piece of Acetate
  • Use Alcohol Inks to apply drops of ink onto the Crystal Lacquer
  • After you have applied all of the inks you would like, use the skewer again to swirl the colors together

  • Lay down the embellishments of your choosing! In the sample below, you can see how she put down some textured ribbon, then some die-cut Tropical Fish from Impression Obsession, and some sequins from Hero Arts
  • Crinkle-up your piece of tissue paper and then un-crinkle it. Lay it on top of the design you just created in the Crystal Lacquer
  • *USE GLOVES* to press the tissue paper flat onto the Acetate
  • Let it dry overnight
Once the design has had an opportunity to dry overnight, you will see the AMAZING transformation!!!

My FAVORITE part about this is that the design is TRANSLUCENT!!
Once you have created your backgrounds, Denise showed how you can turn the designs into cards!

In this one, if you look closely, you can see the Wandering Jellyfish in this Under the Sea card! Denise used the Coral Collage die-cut from Memory Box
Picture
For this card, Denise *EMBOSSED* the words right onto the front of the Acetate and paired it with these *adorable* Ducks die-cut from Impression Obsession, which makes the PERFECT card!!

I just LOVED this one that used one of the Faerie die-cuts from Memory Box!! The added sequins really make this card so magical!!

To see these STUNNING cards in person, swing by the store! We are open EVERY DAY of the week and would LOVE to show you all the newest stuff!!
