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.
