Have you ever tried playing with acrylic pieces? Affectionately known as “acrylics”, Today’s Challenge revolves around those elusive items which result in spectacular projects, and are often forgotten when creating cards, layouts and other crafting goodies. Granted, they take a little time, but then, don’t a lot of other techniques? Try exploring the world of Acrylics. They lend a sometimes elegant, whimsical, darling, outrageous, wonderful finished product — and always provide an eye-captivating moment when people open their card and see the impact. Acrylics are flat, making them ideal for mailing.
There are a number of ways to create spectacular acrylics for cards, layouts, or jewelry. Pigment inks and regular acrylic paints work best in coloring images to achieve an opaque look. Solvent based markers similar to Sharpie may also be used, but give a slightly translucent feel to the colored image. Acrylics dry very quickly, but an impatient artist can simply utilize her heat tool for faster drying times. Sparkle N Sprinkle Super Adhesive Sheets, SNS Tear-ific tape, and Embossing Tape will adhere acrylics seamlessly to projects. However, our Brushable and Dimensional Glues also do the trick (takes longer to dry, though).
Designer Patti White used Staz-on Ink for the image on this acrylic piece, and Brushable Glue with 2 colors of glitter (Sparkling Snow G1003, Majestic Purple G1005). The image is colored with Violet Galaxy Marker 99800-125 (an opaque pigment marker which dries on both porous & non porous surfaces). The background on the purple cardstock was created with sparkly and creamy Morning Glory Embossing Powder EP390.

SNS Acrylic pieces come in a variety of packages – several shapes and sizes. Your Challenge today (are you saying “FINALLY!” LOL) is in regards to packages of acrylic pieces only. How many different packages/sets of Acrylic Pieces does Sparkle N Sprinkle sell?
Please e-mail responses to SNS_Artist@tampabay.rr.com with your name in the Subject Field. Responses which are complete and correct will be placed in a basket for our weekly drawing on Sunday.
Good Luck!
