Acetate Glaze

Happy Memorial Day everyone. I know I should have had something a lot more patriotic however, I did not bring my war hero stamps or phrases on my move. I did get some new stamps in the mail and I really wanted to try stamping on acetate. Well it did not work out to well as I do know have the right kind of ink and it just kept smearing!!! I really need to go pick up some Staz-On!

Well from my card today I have a new stamp I got from The Great Impressions Stamps and it was so much fun to use and it would have been better if it stayed on and in place. This card took a little improvising on my part as I did not bring everything with me when I moved and I have yet to get anything out of boxes or bags :(...... But I managed this. I am hoping today to find some cheap storage solutions for the tiny closet space I have for all my craft items. 

So first I tried stamping the image on the acetate, because that is how it was suppose to be done. Since that didn't work I stamped it on some white cardstock. After cutting the image out I laid down some glossy accents and mixed in the paint then laid the acetate down on the image and smoothed it out. 

(YES IT MAKES A MESS :( I was not ready for that!) 

Once dried I cut out a border to overlay on top of the image and bam added it to a panel. I am sorry it is such a plain card but as I unpack all my goodies I will have a lot more to add to it later I just have to find everything. I really like the glazed look in the background and I really want more silhouette style stamps to try this with for different times of dusk and dawn!!
