What experiments!

Good morning!

This week's challenge of Less is More, was to use acetate.

Oh dear, the only acetate I had left was already stamped with purple swirls!

I looked everywhere! Finally I found a small piece that has been cover for a box of craft stuff.

I have seen on youtube that you can heat emboss on acetate, so I thought I'd try it.

First I used Distress Ink Black Soot because I did not want the stamp would be jet black.

Then I poured the clear embossing powder over and warmed up.

Of the heat, the acetate shrunk together and became even smaller, and the color disappeared.

Of course I immediately realized my mistake.

Now what to do? Well I tryed to use Distress crackle paint all over, but it made ​​it gray instead.

So I tried to wipe away most of it. Then I found out that I would stamp on the top of the crackle paint instead, this time with black Momento Tuxedo.

Then the crackle paint started to crackle and fall off the acetate!

So then I put on Glossy accents over the whole surface.

The result you can see here ....

It appeared a shade of pink that I do not know where it comes from. Weird ...

Moreover, I also used a punch and seam binding that I wrinkled up.

On the inside I used a matching paper from Laura Ashley

to bring out the subject and the white crackle paint.

That´s it for my make this week, but I gotta tell you,

sometimes the result is quite different from that expected.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Hugs, Birgit.
