ALCOHOL INK COLOR CHART - BLANK 2016

I have tried a number of ways to make an alcohol ink color chart and have been frustrated at every turn but stubbornness won out and here is what I came up with.  It was driving me crazy that the ink would flow over the lines, even when debossed with pencil and on plain paper the colors were not true.  Also, all the new colors weren't on the old color chart.  My solution is to print up a blank color chart (I added in what new colors that I could find), and on a separate piece of alcohol ink paper I used a .75" punch and colored each one and glued them onto the chart.  I am happy to share my link but do let me know if it doesn't work.  Enjoy!

ANOTHER ALCOHOL INK CARD: MEMORY BOX VESPERTINE BLOSSOMS

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).

ALCOHOL INK DIE CUT BIRTHDAY CARD

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.

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
