Acetate Monoprinting

Project designed by Kathy Dunn.

Materials:

acetate (window Plastics by Judikins)
black solvent ink (StazOn)
rubber stamps (Judikins, Above the Mark)
airbrush paints (Luna Lights by Stamp Oasis)
freezer paper

1. Cut two pieces of acetate to the same size. Ink your stamp and then stamp images on the acetate. Hold the stamp fairly firmly and almost rock it from side to side but don't let it move from side to side.

   Note: Solvent inks are also called "permanent inks."

2. Drop several drops of paint onto the surface of one acetate sheet. Repeat with another color, and a third (figure A).

3. Over freezer paper cover the drops with the other piece of acetate, and smush the colors around to spread paint (figure B).

4. At one corner, pull the pieces of acetate apart. Let dry.

5. You can add embellishments of your choice to the card to decorate it.
