It’s fun to try out new crafting techniques. I wanted to make a card that would be simple, use the Pen Tool and have a spooky Halloween theme. I used Adirondack Earthtones Alcohol Ink in the color Slate to add extra detail around my pen tool lines that I made using Sharpie. Dabbing alcohol inks around the edge of your acrylic overlay is a great way to add a hint of detail and help make it stand out against your card or page. Another great thing about acrylic is you can journal captions and notes without covering up your project underneath. I hope you have fun creating these acrylic frames for cards or layouts.
I’ve created three other acrylic card overlays that you can download below.

This card is adorable! I love the acrylic over lay!!
A cute Halloween card! Love those spiders with the googly eyes.
Love it, what type of pen do you use?
What kind of acetate did you use?
Which font did you use for the pen tool? I have a hard time finding single stroke fonts to use with the pen tool.
Great overlay card!
Very fun. This is a new idea to me. I would like to try this technique.
