Alcohol Ink Using a Stylus

This is my first card with the alcohol inks.  I layered Basic Black and Blackberry Bliss with the alcohol ink paper.  The circles were made with a stylus.  I love how the pink and blue colors created such a beautiful purple.

My first attempt at alcohol inks, thanks to Myriam's Nature.  I love Myriam's videos; I felt less intimidated.  My daughter made this for her friend.  My cards will be in the next post.  

We used Jacquard Pinata alcohol inks.  We applied the ink to alcohol ink paper, added alcohol, and used a blow dryer to move the ink around.  Stunning effect!

The easel in the back is Sizzix Tim Holtz small easel.

This is for a challenge Let's Squash It.  The challenge is for a geometric embossing folder and metal.  This challenge is their very first challenge.

I covered card stock with aluminum foil.  Then I ran it through the Sizzix 3D Geometric embossing folder.   Then: 

• I spread a coat of black Staz On
• I lightly coated the base with Versa Mark.
• I spread copper embossing powder and heated it
• I lightly coated the base with Versa Mark
• I spread gold embossing powder and heated it
• I lightly coated the base with Versa Mark
• I spread silver embossing powder and heated it 
• I added the ribbon and the sentiment

Get Well: Sending Well Wishes

 

My cousin just had surgery, so I sent this card to her.  I watercolored the background and adhered the die cut over the base.  I used Dandelion Wishes for the sentiment.  Misty Moonlight was used for the main color. 

Hello: Slimline Daisies

My grandson had to write a letter to his teacher, so (of course) I made a card for him.  I made the card in the slimline for to fit into the envelope his teacher supplied.
