Jenny's fun challenge this month is Acrylic Paint, and here's my card:
Using Acrylic Paint, Heat-embossing, and Stamping
[How I made the card]
1. Heat-embossed the leaves on a piece of white cardstock and a piece of heat-resistant acetate in dark brown. I also Heat-embossed the sentiment on the cardstock.
I learned how to use acrylic paint on acetate from this video.
2. Colored the leaves with acrylic paint on the back side of the embossed acetate. This will help prevent the acrylic paint from getting scratched or marred.
3. Removed the center panel of the white cardstock by making cuts 1" from the top and 1" from the bottom.
4. Glued the acetate to the back of the top and bottom cardstock panels.
5. Added a few clear sequins to the front panel.
It was fun to color images on acetate with acrylic paint. Next time I'll be more careful with heat-embossing on acetate so that it won't warp. 😉

ReplyDeleteOMG...Love your gorgeous very creative heat embossed leaves on acetate and then painting the leaves with acrylics card design, my friend. I had no idea how you created your clever card design until reading all your steps several times.. A real Wow card, Hideko. I must try your acetate window technique. Thank you so much for sharing. TFS the link also. Love and Hugs...stay safe and healthy...Nancy
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, I love the depth of colour from the acrylic paint on acetate and your layout is perfect with the front insert of acetate :)

ReplyDeleteSo pretty. Love the see-through panel design, Hideko! Beautiful job colouring with acrylic paints on acetate. Thanks for the reminder I need to buy some heat-resistant acetate!
ReplyDeleteOooooh well this is special. You always have a different approach, which I adore reading about. This card is out of the ordinary. The soft pastels just add to this special design. Truly a beauty. Have you ever tried using clear DURA-LAR? https://www.grafixarts.com/products/dura-lar-film/
ReplyDeleteColoring on acetate is a wonderful technique, Hideko! And I love that the acetate window gives it a "stained glass" look! So pretty!
