I wanted to stay with acetate this fortnight as it was such a joy to work with at the last class so I combined a few favourites to make our backgrounds for this class - alcohol inks, acetate, embossing folders and a little coloured foil. I didn't use the embossing folders on all of the backgrounds as I think you can get a great look just using the alcohol inks on un-embossed acetate. You have to decide which side you'll stick down to your white card (this shows off the alcohol inks to their best advantage) as some of the alcohol inks in thicker areas stay sticky. I just used the old trick of pressing some coloured foil onto the sticky bits and this transfers the foil and stops the stickiness. I used either double-sided adhesive paper all over the back of the acetate piece to attach it to the white card, or just used skinny red-liner tape as this is the most transparent tape. By the time you add all your bits & pieces to the top, you really don't notice the tape anyway. Yes, I used the same wording on two of the atc's as the colouring and wording suited both. 😏
