3D Holographic Peel Offs Valentine Teds

How To Make Your Cards

Stick the peel offs onto acetate. Colour in the peel offs using permanent ink pens, glass paints can also bee used if desired.

Pen work should be done from the back. Start with the lightest colour, let it dry and then go over with the same pen to produce a deeper colour on shaded areas. If your first colour layer starts to come away with the second, apply this to the front but be careful not to get any on the peel off lines.

For best results on the leaves, colour them first in yellow and then in green. Leave your designs to dry.

Carefully stick the adhesive sheet to the back of the acetate. It is best to peel off just a small corner of the backing from the sheet and line the acetate up with the straight edges. Slowly peel the rest of the backing away, ensuring that the adhesive sticks to the acetate evenly, without any air bubbles.

Remove the backing from the adhesive sheet and stick the holographic paper to the back of the acetate.

Carefully cut out all the pieces. Non stick scissors are ideal for this.

If there are extra copies of the same image available you may wish to cut out just the foremost parts of the design and layer this on top of the main image as you would in 3D decoupage.

Arrange the papers onto your card. You can use the layout shown in the example or design your own. Stick the papers and any embellishments in place.

Fix your peel off design to the prepared card with double sided adhesive pads.
