Embossed Acetate and Alcohol Ink!

 

If you know me, you know I love a 3D embossing folder. It's so amazing the dimension and detail it makes on paper. I tried embossing acetate and was shocked it worked so well.

But how do you color acetate? Copic markeres look too streaky on the acetate unless you back it with a dark color to hide the streaks. I thought of applying alcohol ink to the back of the acetate. My idea was to randomly put some alcohol inks on the backside of the acetate, then use acrylic paint to fill in any missed areas.

I used a lot of colors of alcohol ink on this card. Please know you don't need all the colors I used. Just use a few and it turns out just as good. Also keep in mind you can use other colors, whatever you want. 

I filmed while I was making, so here's the YouTube video tutorial:

Below are clickable links to the stores that carry the supplies I used. Thanks for using my links, it allows me to continue providing content, I purchased all the alcohol ink and acetate I used. 

Just a quick note if you do want to support me and my content, if you use Shopify, (on the purchase page) Shopify receives the commission, not me.
