I didn't try this technique when it came out. It didn't seem like one that I would really like. But I enjoyed it. I used overhead transparency for my acetate and it did warp a bit when I embossed, but I really wanted to emboss. I chose a stamp that I had a coordinating die for. I stamped and embossed, then colored the back of the acetate with my Spectrum Noir markers. Then I applied doubled sided tape (the big wide one from Elizabeth Craft) to the acetate and stuck the aluminum foil to it. Last step was die cutting. I felt it needed an alcohol ink background, so I made a quick and loose alcohol ink background on some glossy paper. It's not very me (look at all that pink and purple), but I like it.

Oh wow. Stunning. What's not to love about poppies, and the red/purple combo is so rich and regal. Smart you choosing a stamp with a coordinating die. I wasn't sure it would cut though both the transparency and double-sided adhesive. Obviously it does. For years I had a box of transparencies for a laser printer rather than OHP, and I never had any trouble heating those. But like all good things, they came to an end.
