Clear Scraps Project Post

Hello friends! It's Jennifer on the blog today to share another 12×12 Acrylic Layout!  If you haven't had a chance to play with these new Clear Scraps products, you must try them out!  I promise its easy to add color and texture to; today I'm going to show you how!  

For my layout, I used the Shooting Stars 12×12 Acrylic Layout which fits a 5×7 photograph. You can "flip" the acrylic layouts to fit your photos as needed too!  

I started with alcohol ink which is one of the fastest and easiest ways to color your acrylic. (First remove the protective film from both sides).  

Next, I used a large background stamps and Staz-On ink to randomly stamp onto the acrylic. Staz-On ink works the best on Clear Scraps acrylic because it is solvent based and dries quickly.  

Before adhering my acrylic down, I used the stars as a template with different patterns and cut out stars to insert into random spots on my page. 

I used Beacon 3-in-1 Craft Adhesive to adhere my Acrylic Layout to my patterned paper. Did you know that you can also stitch through Clear Scraps acrylic?  I used my sewing machine to go around the edge of of my page. Next, I added ephemera and embellishments from the collections to accent my photo. 

Here is a close up of the background stamping on the acrylic! It gives an extra bit of texture to your page!
