| Instructions: I am showing this technique using a rub-on. You can also use a stamped image. Stamp the image in craft ink and then use clear embossing powder and a heat tool to set the image. | ||||
|
|
Start with a piece of acetate that is twice the size of the rub-on. You only need to do this if you are adding the glitter step. Your piece of acetate can be the same size as the rub-on, if you are skipping the glitter. | |||
 |
Use a bone folder to crease the acetate sheet in half. Push hard, to create a definite fold. | |||
 |
Lay your rub-on over the acetate and use the stick provided to transfer it to the surface. | |||
 |
Here is the transferred rub-on. | |||
 |
Carefully cut around the image. You need to hold tightly to the acetate, so it doesn't slip while you cut. When you finish you will have two matching acetate pieces. | |||
 |
Carefully put some Crystal Effects on the plain piece of acetate, making sure to leave about 1/8" around the edges. Sprinkle with Dazzling Diamonds glitter and then shake off the excess. Press the piece of acetate with the rub-on on top. The crystal effects will adhere the two pieces together, trapping the glitter in the center. Allow to dry completely. | |||
|
It is difficult to attach the acetate piece to your project without the
adhesive being seen. Brads are a good option or use a button/accent piece to
hide a mini glue dot. The So Saffron star hides a dimensional on my card. Here is the finished card. |
