Stamping on Acetate? How?

[mountainmom]

I tried stamping on a transparency (with Stazon). Its very blurry. IS there a trick to it? thanks!

Because transparencies are slippery you have to be super steady when you stamp. Using a stamp-a-majig might help.

Today's Technique Challenge is to make an acetate card. I haven't done the challenge yet, but you may be able to find some hints and ideas in the gallery for the challenge or the acetate card gallery.

HTH! Good luck

If you have the Laser printer type of transparencies then you can heat set right after you stamp - that will help eliminate the blur as I think the ink tends to spread after stamping especially if you have a really juicy pad. Another option is to change your ink choice - the Brilliance and versaMagic pads work great and th eink does not bleed - but they take longer to dry but are perfect with heat setting.

The tutorial mentions Palette Hybrid, which I have. I think I will give that a try tonight. Thanks, Ladies!

Any more ideas! I'm seeing gorgeous stuff in the gallery.
