Autumn Vibes

Hi everyone,

For today’s card I used Alcohol inks and alloys on Yupo paper.



I started with 5 x 7” piece of Yupo alcohol ink cardstock and added a couple of drops of  Isopropyl alcohol to my paper and then added drops of alcohol ink starting with the lightest colour building up to the darkest colour.

 





After each addition of colour, use an ink blower to move the inks around and add

more isopropyl alcohol as needed.






After all colours were blended, I began to add drops of Alloy and move them around 

with an Ink blower adding blending solution to move the colours around.

I dried the piece lightly with a heat tool.



I die cut several leaves from the alcohol inked background.




For the base of my card I used an embossing folder and embossed a piece of white cardstock.

I then added splatters of paint and Distress Spritz and inked the edges of the card with black ink.

Added some of the leaves to the background with foam square's and glued others directly.

I stamped the sentiment and embossed with gold embossing powder.

Well that’s it for my card today and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻
