I really enjoy using acetate in my art, I mostly work with it for creating wings for my fairies, but occasionally I like to create depth to my collages with acetate foregrounds, like those shown here.
The foreground for all of the pieces were taken from vintage Japanese art images, I think they work beautifully with the vintage fairies, they add a real wispy, whimsy feel to each collage.
Placing the vintage fairy image behind the acetate is perfect, it's like the fairies are hiding shyly behind the blades of grass trying not to be seen!
So if you haven't yet given acetate a try, please do, it's so easy to work with, and produces great results.
