For You

 Good Morning Friends

I hope you are all doing well out there.

I am back to work this week....a first since the middle of March.  

I made this background weeks ago and finally got around to making a card using it inspired by a sketch challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers.

So here's what I did for creating my card.

• I began with a piece of Yupo paper (yupo is a plastic coated paper and great for alcohol inks)
• I dropped some blue Ranger Alcohol ink onto the Yupo starting right at the center of my panel.
• I dropped some Rubbing Alcohol onto the drop of AI then using my small blower, I blew the inks outwards from the middle.  This is what my blower looks like:

• I repeated that process using some purple Alcohol inks and more Rubbing Alcohol. 
• I cut the panel down to fit onto my card base and glued it all in place. 
• Using the Zinnia flower stencil from A Colorful Life Designs, I stenciled the smallest flower using Salty Ocean and Seedless Preserves Distress Oxides onto a piece of white card and die cut it into a circle. I splattered the flower with water to lift some of the ink and when dry, I traced around the flower using a fine line pen. 
• I stamped the sentiment from Your Next Stamp and then clear heat embossed it.
• I glued on the sentiment, then pop dotted the flower over to the side.
• I added a black gem to the flower center.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
