Embossing and Painting Acetate

If you've seen my Instagram Posts, you know I love 3D embossing folders. I'm always trying to think up new ways to use them. This is lightweight acetate embossed with Spellbinders Notched Florals 3D embossing folder. I then painted the backside (with metallic acrylic paint from Hobby Lobby), where all the florals and berries are recessed. The recessed areas form little "wells" which makes it easy to apply paint. I painted 2 layers.

Here is my YouTube video tutorial, all products used are linked in the description under the video.

I inked a piece of Neenah Solar White Classic Crest with Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry, Aged Mahogany, and Villainous Potion.

I adhered the acetate to the panel with Distress Collage Medium and Artis Glue, but any glue that works with plastic is fine. Only put the glue on the back of the acetate where it can be hidden by the metallic paint.

The sentiment is called Autumn Serenade Sentiments by Spellbinders.
