How did you do that?

 Christmas in July? Yep! Did you know Clear Scraps makes ornaments? Clear Scraps acrylic is so versytle that you can do just about anything to it and its going to look great! Here I took a small shape and used an embossing folder to dry emboss it through my Cuttlebug! Then I used Alcohol inks -   blues and greens then covered most of  the back with a Paint Daubbr in Pearl.
 Here I started using the same techniques as above, but did not add the Pearl paint daubber - you can tell this on is more translucent. ( I used alcohol inks in blues, greens and silver metallic.) I added little stars with Zip Dry and edged the shape with silver Stickles.


Here I used the same technique as above then added a 
little paper banner that I colored with Distress Inks.
The possibilities are endless and you can use these techniques on all of your acrylic!
EIGHT DAYS UNTIL WE MOVE YIPEE!
