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 🙏🏻

Here comes Halloween

 Hi everyone,

Today I have 3 Halloween cards to share with you which I used alcohol inks on each of them. 

For my first card I used a ruler with a strip of felt and added drops to the edge and began pouncing the ruler up and down on the long thin edge to create my background.

For my second card I added alcohol inks directly to a piece of Yupo paper and blended them together with the help of my Tim Holtz air tool to move them around.

For my third card I die cut the words Happy Halloween from the background piece which was used from the second card before I had assembled it.  For the negative space that was left on my second card I die cut the Happy Halloween die from silver sparkle paper and glued it directly into the space.

I used various Lawn Fawn stamp and dies and coloured my images with Copics.

I added Glow in the Dark stencil paste to the tops of the trees on Card 1 and the windows and stars on Card 2 and used a starry sky stencil to add glow in the dark to the striped background.

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

Hi everyone,

Well it's quite dreary here today, very overcast and a little drizzle. 

I thought I would hop on here and share one of my latest cards. I love Halloween cards.

This was a rather quick card to make. I started by creating my background with only one colour of Alcohol ink - Wild Plum which is a perfect Halloween purple colour.

I blended the ink on a piece of Yupo paper and when I was happy with my blend I left it alone to dry.

I die cut the scene from a piece of black cardstock and stamped the sentiment in black ink.

I adhered foam tape to the panel, the scene and my sentiment and added them to my card base.

Well that's it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by.
