Beautiful Colored Acetate Over Glimmer Paper

I am excited to participate in my first ever blog hop.
The theme of the hop is holiday gifts . . . and since Thanksgiving is tomorrow
I chose to focus on the gratitude aspect of gift giving.

This thank-you card uses a fun technique:  Colored Acetate Over Glimmer Paper.

The technique is very simple:  * you stamp on an acetate sheet,  * color it with markers  * and then layer it over glimmer paper. The end result is so pretty and sparkly!

A caution about working with acetate sheets:  You have to use permanent inks when working on acetate. That means StazOn ink and alcohol markers. 

Stampin'UP! has a line of alcohol markers called Stampin Blends.  

I love that there is such a wide variety of colors to choose from, its a real bonus when you want to color coordinate projects using Stampin'UP! papers.

Its not hard to work with acetate but I do have some tips and tricks to share
