Supplies

  • Pearl Ex™

  • Xyron™ Machine with adhesive cartridge (or spray adhesive)

  • Pearl Ex™ (here True blue, Aztec Gold and Duo Yellow/Green)

  • Sponge dauber, Q-tips™ or stipple brushes to apply Pearl Ex™

  • Black Stazon™

Step-by-Step

  1. Step 1

    Stamp image(s) on acetate with Stazon™.

  2. Step 2

    Let image dry. Run it through the Xyron™ machine with the stamped image facing up.

  3. Step 3

    Trim to acetate size, then peel off the plastic sheet from the top of the image.

  4. Step 4

    Flip sheet of acetate over and peel off the other plastic sheet carefully. Try to touch the adhesive side as little as possible.

  5. Step 5

    Start applying Pearl Ex™ to the image. You can either apply it all over in a random fashion or try to color the image with different Pearl Ex colors.




  6. Step 6

    Take the neutral cardstock and add tape or run it through the Xyron™ machine.

  7. Step 7

    Adhere the Pearl Ex™ covered acetate to the neutral cardstock. The Pearl Ex7trade; will be facing the neutral cardstock.

  8. Step 8

    Finish your project.

Variations

    Glitter or gold
    Instead of Pearl Ex™, try adding glitter or gold leafing to the sticky side of the acetate.
