Technique Time Tuesday - Smackin' Acetate

It's the first Tuesday of the month, which means a new technique challenge at...

 

Technique Time Tuesday

 

 

This month is my turn to host the challenge - the Technique I chose is called...

 

SMACKIN' ACETATE

Make sure to check out the TUTORIAL video on the blog,

as well as the wonderful creations by the rest of the Design Team

 

Here's my card...

 

Ink colors used are Dutch Blue, Watermelon, Hydrangea from Close to My Heart

All papers are from my stash of scraps

Stamps: from my old collection of Close to My Heart - Treasured Life D1306

 

I experimented with using glossy cardstock, which gave me more movement with the water/ink

This resulted in more coverage on the paper and a great blended look once the paper was dry

I think this technique is really fun and can give you a varied look with the type of paper you use

 

And here is a second card I made...

 

 

Ink colors used are Sunny Yellow, Sunflower, Orange from Close to My Heart

All papers are from my stash of scraps

Stamps: from my old collection of Close to My Heart - Beware D1381

 

Now it's your turn to play around with the SMACKIN' ACETATE technique

REMEMBER to watch the TUTORIAL and check out the INSPIRATION from the Design Team

Don't be afraid to try different color combinations and types of paper

Have FUN with it - I look forward to seeing what you come up with

 

Thanks for stopping by today...
