Step 1.
Stamp image(s) on acetate with Stazon.
Step 2.
Let image dry. Run it through the Xyron machine with the stamped image facing up.
Step 3.
Trim to acetate size, then peel off the plastic sheet from the top of the image.
Step 4.
Flip sheet of acetate over and peel off the other plastic sheet carefully. Try to touch the adhesive side as little as possible.
Step 5.
Start applying Pearl Ex to the image. You can either apply it all over in a random fashion or try to color the image with different Pearl Ex colors.
Step 6.
Take the neutral cardstock and add tape or run it through the Xyron machine.
Step 7.
Adhere the Pearl Ex covered acetate to the neutral cardstock. The Pearl Ex will be facing the neutral cardstock.
