Don’t know what to do with acrylic?

Hi all! Rita  Barakat here and recently I have been hearing over and over again that people love the look of acrylic but don't know what to do with it. Well Clear Scraps just came out with these Tri Folds in cast acrylic and I thought this would be a good opportunity to address some of those fears. It looks gorgeous with vellum and pattern papers.  I cut out several flowers to adorn the bottom of the frame. I used ribbon to hold the frame together. Rub ons work great on acrylic -all the words you see here are rub ons.

I used Glossy Accents to adhere the paper onto the small butterflies. The small round flowers are a lighter acrylic and I embossed those with the Cuttlebug. I also used Shimmerz then held the frames in place with Glossy Accents.

Because of the gorgeous clear crisp look of the Cast acrylic I wanted to leave some of the parts blank – also allowing it to blend in wherever I choose to display this project. The cast acrylic is thicker, stronger and cannot be cut or embossed. ( At least not by us- look at those butterflies!)

Think of Acrylic as a pattern paper for your background- don't cover all of it up, but don't be afraid to just go for it like a scrapbook page!

    What a fun project- and such great tips on using acrylic.
    I have used various types and wasn’t always impressed – look forward to getting my hands on some clear scraps.
