Smackin' Acetate?

[stampcrazygirl]

Ok...I'm trying to learn new techniques. I've seen 'Smackin acetate' mentioned as a technique that was used. How do you do this? I know it uses acetate sheets, but that's about all I have a clue about!

If anyone would be so kind as to explain this that would be awesome! I looked through the postings and tutorials and didn't find anything.

TIA!

Here are the directions that I have saved. I haven't tried it yet though.



Smackin' Acetate - This is a super easy and fun technique. Take a piece of acetate (or clear transparency film, made for overheads) scribble on it with your water based markers. (I use the Many Marvelous Markers from Stampin' Up!). When scribbling on the acetate make sure not to blend to many colors together as it will give the background a muddy look. One you have all the colors added spray the acetate with water. I use a fine mist spray bottle. Than place your cardstock on the acetate and lift it off. Dry your cardstock thoroughly and than finish the card.

These directions came from this website: http://www.stampincrazy.com/techniques.html

It is easy and fun. I use a piece of scrunged up cling wrap to dap the colors together before putting the cardstock over. It blends the colors even better.

Hugs and smiles.

P.S.: type in smaking acetate in the gallery. There should be some samples popping up.
