                        Acetate, or, "transparencies" are a fun addition to cards and scrap pages. They make neat windows for card cutouts or boxes and look fabulous laid over a scrap page.&lt;br /&gt;
With digital images becoming more popular these days, I thought I try to print some images on acetate with my inkjet and see how that does.&lt;br /&gt;
My transparencies were not special for inkjet but the ones I use for stamping, namely the photo copier type.&lt;br /&gt;
This means the inkjet ink will not dry on them :)&lt;br /&gt;
But that is no problem, I just…                    </summary>

My transparencies were not special for inkjet but the ones I use for stamping, namely the photo copier type.&lt;br /&gt;
This means the inkjet ink will not dry on them :)&lt;br /&gt;
But that is no problem, I just dumped clear embossing powder over my printed images and heat embossed them, beautiful results!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here is a pair of ATCs using this technique:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align:center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://api.ning.com/files/gREfJ7uu3vZ17jKqmh8d4cJ9Yc3Xcbt8sDF2yb4AfkJhC6x0HXYhqIeOZs-*D4MuseuBj40THQv8XsYCTBCh0-3Whx9hPtHp/his_and_hersATCs.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On "his" ATC I painted the printed heart from the back with shimmerz paints. These dry very well and quickly on acetate. Her ATC's heart was backed with a designer paper heart that I adhered with glossy accents :)&lt;br /&gt;
All digital images are &lt;a href="http://www.belindalandtroop.com/BelindaDigitalStamps.html" target="_blank"&gt;"Belinda's Digital Art"&lt;/a&gt;, all papers Basic Grey.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So try it out, let me know what your printer thinks of printing on a transparency. You'll have plenty of time to get to your work space to add the embossing powder. I had breakfast between printing and embossing ;)                        </content>

I have selected over 400 items for this sale. Some may have only 1 or 2 available for the sale and will be removed from the Progressive Sale page as the allotted number sells out, and I may add more as I finish up my inventory. The sale will continue as long as the sale page is up on &lt;a href="http://www.artneko.com"&gt;www.artneko.com&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here is how it works:&lt;br /&gt;
This page has items that are eligible for a Progressive Sale discount. Progressive Sale discounts apply only to items found on Progressive Sale page.&lt;br /&gt;
**Buy one item from this page and you will get a 5% discount on that item.&lt;br /&gt;
**Buy 2 items from this page and get a 10% discount on those two items.&lt;br /&gt;
**Buy 3 items from this page and get a 15% discount on those items.&lt;br /&gt;
**Buy 4 items from this page and get a 20% discount on those items.&lt;br /&gt;
**Buy 5 items from this page and get a 25% discount on those items.&lt;br /&gt;
**Buy 6 items from this page and get a 30% discount on those items.&lt;br /&gt;
**Buy 7 items from this page and get a 35% discount on those items.&lt;br /&gt;
**Buy 8 items from this page and get a 40% discount on those items.&lt;br /&gt;
**Buy 9 items from this page and get a 45% discount on those items.&lt;br /&gt;
**Buy 10 or more items from this page and get a 50% discount on those items.&lt;br /&gt;
The more you buy the more you save!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you place additional orders from this sale, please include a note to seller or send me a separate email (artneko@gmail.com) to remind me of your earlier purchase and the earlier items from the Progressive Sale will be used to determine the discount on successive orders. For example if you ordered 3 items already and place another order for 5 items you discount on the second order will be 40% instead of 25%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Discounts will be made via a refund to your Paypal account when the order is processed or if you are paying by check, email me the list of items you want and I will send you a corrected total.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Limit, no more than 2 of the same item may be ordered at the discounted price and items are limited to those displayed on the Progressive Sale page at the time the order is placed. Discount does not apply to mounting fees or shipping and handling. The items available at this discount are limited and will be removed from the sale page once the alloted number has sold out. Don't miss out!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many of these items were the result of preparing in advance for a stamp show I had to cancel out on due to some health issues. Some are just because my OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) is ratcheting up so I want to even out the piles in my workshop and some are because I may have to have foot surgery that may will make it difficult for me to fill orders for several months so I am just trying to get the inventory down. Some are because I am so disorganized that I had plates pressed when I already had them on hand but hadn't put them away in the right place. And many are because they have the unfortunate circumstance of having resided on a plate that had some extra hot sellers on them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Happy New Year to all,&lt;br /&gt;
