ANOTHER ALCOHOL INK CARD: MEMORY BOX VESPERTINE BLOSSOMS

Tuesday, February 17, 2015

I love the elgance of these cards so much I made four of them!  This is for my daughter-in-law's birthday.  The technique is the same for all, see this post.  The matching glitter tape is applied to card stock before die cutting.  I had to cut the "Wishing" die so that it read "Wish".
And Lawn Fawn Milo's alphabet is perfect for creating your own sentiment (stamped in black and embossed with clear embossing powder).

MAKE IT CRAFTY PINK ON KRAFT CHALLENGE

Sunday, February 8, 2015

Heck, coloring on Kraft is hard!  Tried my Inktense but the water tore up the Kraft paper, couldn't use my Copics so had to try my Polychromos.  Those worked well but I am very inexperienced with them.  I cheated on the ice cream and used Copic opaque white and Perfect Pearls for the sprinkles.  The hardest part was actually seeing what I was doing on the Kraft paper.  I couldn't even see the little bits of white embossing that clung to the paper ( yes I did use antistatic powder).  Frenchie Claudine is such a cute digi image and perfect for this challenge.

ALCOHOL INK DIE CUT BIRTHDAY CARD

Friday, February 6, 2015

Hi Everyone,

I have a card today inspired by this card by Cathy of Cathy's Card Spot and her use of Alcohol inks combined with dry embossing.  Here is my take on this technique. I cut the Memory Box Kensington Branch  out of mirrored card stock and then painted with Alcohol inks.  I then dry embossed on Crafter's Companion Shimmering cardstockwith Spellbinders M-Bossabilities and THEN cut the Kensington Branch out of that (if you die cut and THEN emboss you will distort the negative image....ask me how I know!).  I then attached the card stock to PTI white card stock with Darice sparkle tape on the side (I love that stuff, it is soft, pliable and has the best sparkle).  Pearls added into the flower centers.  You might notice that I was a little haphazzard about what I punched out and what stayed in the butterfly parts of the die but I don't think it matters.


memory box dies, alcohol inks









For the die cut sentiment, I first took the same sparkle tape and applied it to a scrap piece of the shimmer card stock.  I then cut the Serendipity word die and again out of Bazzill Mirrored gold card stock and off set slightly.   




For the inside I just cut and layered another piece of the die and used liquid pearls in flowers and corners of the soft pink card stock
