Acetate Smack!

Hello Everybody and Happy Tuesday!

It's time for a new challenge at Technique Time Tuesday-are you ready?  It's called Smackin' Acetate.  It's super easy and fun!  Mynnette has made a wonderful video.  In a nutshell you swipe your markers over a piece of acetate and spritz some water and then put your cardstock on top of it (hence the smash).

So here is what I made:

I used a dictionary page as the background and then used some Tim Holtz stamps and gear stamps for Graphic 45.  The hand is a movers and shaker from Tim.  I used one of the simple sayings from Tim's stampers anonymous collection for the sentiment.  

I used Distress markers black soot and faded jeans for that middle background where I used the acetate smash technique.  I then was able to continue using those colors for the rest of the card with the Distress Ink.  Right now I love some black soot.  I have inked before with black so it shouldn't be that big a deal-but if I can put black soot on something-I will!

Oh I did change up the technique a little bit-I used Perfect Pearls Mist-gold to react with the distress markers while the ink was still on the acetate.  This added a little shimmer to the marker color.

Here's a picture where you can see a few bits of gold.

I would like to enter this into the following challenge:

The Male Room: Anything Goes!

This is going to a friend of ours that is on bed rest-doctor's orders.  Hopefully, this will brighten his day a little!  :)

Thanks for stopping by!  Until next time my friends-Just Smack it! :)  (don't go crazy though!)
