Help required

Hi folks


I have seen some cards through different sites being used with acetate and peel off's and they look really nice so i thought give it a go....................

Getting no where, i have put the peel off on the acetate and then thought............um colour it but what with?

I tried using my sakura pens but they don't work I know that embossing pens won't work on there cos i have tried that as well.

All help would be grateful.

Many thanks

Christine

Sakura pens should work on it Christine. You have to work quite slowly to make sure the pens flow easily - I have used the Metallic, souffle, stardust, and the glaze ones look like stained glass window effect. They take longer to dry though You could also use glass paints on them

Permanent pens should work to, I have used my Galaxy markers on acetate before and it was fine but as Jacky said it does take quite a while to dry properly

Hi if its the thin acetate try using H2C TWINKLY paints they work lovely , don't make it to wet.Also permant marker pens but apply with a brush otherwise it comes on too thick.Hope that helps. lexie

Sakura pens should work but you have to use them slowly to allow them to pour out. I remember reading somewhere that you could use any medium you wanted to on acetate if you used Sakura glace clear as a base first so perhaps you could try that if you wanted to use some other medium to colour

Let us know how you get on

Hi

Thanks for all your help, haven't tried it again since i posted this cos i have been a bit busy since last weekend.

I am hoping to give it a go this weekend, i am only out on Sat but around for the rest of the bank hol - well not on Mon as i have to work but only for 4 hours.

So watch this space as they say!!!

Catch you later

Christine

Any permanent marker should work but not water based ones.
Have you tried fine Art glitter with the special glue from a fine nozzle - that looks nice if you want a real sparkle
