Good Morning.
Today, I am playing with a new die from Penny Black, some Yupo paper and alcohol inks.
So here's what I did.
I began by added some Ranger Alcohol inks onto my piece of Yupo paper. Love how the inks move and react on the Yupo, such a unique paper.
When it was dry, I used some Ranger Blending Solution and a piece of drywall tape to stencil in the background. I like the look it gave and the extra interest it added.
I used some Inka Gold diluted with water and flicked that onto the background with a paintbrush to look like little star.
This adorable little die from Penny Black is called Winter Village. I die-cut it onto white and mounted it over the inky Yupo. I stamped the sentiment from the new Love and Peace sentiment set then I framed the whole thing up and pop dotted it onto my card front.
Feeling happy to have another holiday card made.
Thanks so much for coming over to take a look.
