I have tried this technique once before but I never did anything with the papers I created. I was hoping to create a dark sky as a background for fireworks. Today's attempt at this technique was more successful. This technique is this week's TGIFC#339. The design and color inspiration came from today's Just Add Ink #577 Just Add Inspiration.
The picture below shows my completed alcohol blended vellum. The blends I used included Light Cherry Cobbler, Dark Mossy Meadow, Dark Highland Heather and Dark Daffodil Delight.
The Cherry Cobbler card base borders a Petal Pink piece of In Good Taste DSP.
The leaves, from the Forever Flourishing dies, were cut from the alcohol blended vellum.
The only stamping was the sentiment which is from the Shaded Summer stamp set. It was stamped using Cherry Cobbler onto Basic White and cut using the Tasteful Labels dies. The Cherry Cobbler circle was cut using the Layering Circles dies.
Cherry Cobbler and Gold Metallic Ribbon was cut in half to make a smaller bow.
I added some Wonderful Gems for a little more sparkle.
Thanks for looking at my card. Be sure to check out the other creations from these fun challenges.
Happy Stamping!

ReplyDeleteFantastic that you created an alcohol background to die cut your leaves from. They look so beautiful amongst the texture of the cork and DSP features. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink this week.
