What is acetate paper?

[skstampin]

Is it the same as vellum?

I've seen cards where they say they stamp on acetate then glitter on the back - how does that work?

It is like a transperancy that teachers use on the overhead! I use my teaching ones for my cards he he!

Sus sold them called window sheets- not sure if they are in the new catty or not. Otherwise I get mine in office supply stores for overheads

Pretty! The sunflowers are on the overhead transperacny and glitter is applied to the back and put down on top of paper so it won't come off

Acetate or transparency film is used with the alcohol inks as well. In fact, using the alcohol inks on this "paper" is one of my favorite techniques. You can really play with backgrounds using this. Have fun!
