Thanks lynn for the drying advice. It finally dried so I was able to finish the card. Its not the most creative card because I only had two reinkers, but the most important thing for me was learning to do the technique. Now that I did it, and love it, I'll be buying more reinkers and getting more creative next time. Thanks for the great challenge.

Dry time depends on your local weather...dry or humid, etc. Also a greater surface area will require more dry time than a small spot on a flower. You could place it by a fan, just as long as you don't let it go flying off (weight a non-stamped part down with something) otherwise you might be peeling if off one of your walls. ;)
Just another little tidbit or my two cents, whatever that might be worth. hehe.. I cut my acetate first, stamped my image and then "painted" it. so it was drying while i was cutting the rest of my papers. I also think a thin lay will do the trick and less trying time. hope that helps some.
OMgosh was this so fun! Thanks for a great challenge! I have to admit, this was my second try, and due to my Crystal Effects being a little thick, I tried to be consistent in how I colored these petals...kinda look textured?

After much thinking about this technique I have decided to try it. I am waiting on my colors to dry and so far it hasn't been as difficult as I expected. I hope to post it later tonight. Thanks Lynn for a different type of challenge and something to make us procrastinators "go for the gold"!
I took the plunge after all and gave it a try. It wasn't as difficult as I anticipated but took a lot of time. I probably didn't put the color on as thick as I should but for the first time, I think it turned out ok. I tried to keep it as simple as possible and I just got this stamp in the mail today from CHF and thought it would be perfect. tfl and as always I appreciate your comments!!!
What a fun technique. I wasn't sure I was going to pull it off, but I like the final result. I had to photograph it from the side because the first time my flash distorted the picture. Here's my initial try at this technique, which I think I will try again -- TLC181 Stained Glass Poppies & Butterflies by Clownmom at Splitcoaststampers
Cool technique! I took a slightly different sequence and have stamped and painted a page of acetate, so I will size my frame later after it is dry . . . and then I'll pick the better part to cut out. I think this will turn out great! Off to gaze the gallery . . . :-D
I love this technique!! Finally tonight, I finished my card. The acetate was still wet last night, and this afternoon still left a bit of color when I flipped it over on a piece of paper. I love how it looks, but plan ahead when you want to use this technique. ;)
Thank you for the challenge! Love your first one! It was definitely a challenge for me since I really didnt have any of the supplies listed to use, but I did figure something out, lol! Here is my first attempt at it...I'm working on another one too.
Lynn - Congratulation on this new position: Thanks for the fabulous challenge. Great fun and I will be doing it again very soon. Your instructions were perfect and very easy to understand. I couldn't get a great picture but Here is mine: Colorful Technique by Verda at Splitcoaststampers
