Alcohol Ink Background

Good morning all, I hope you have had a great weekend and are having a good week so far. Today's card is one I made for mum's birthday last week.

I blended different shades of blue Alcohol Pearl Inks on to Yupo paper, and before it was completely dry, I pressed gold foil randomly over it, and just let it stick where it wanted.

I cut a panel of white card with an MFT Stitched Rectangle die to fit an A2 card base, and then I used a large circle die to cut a window in the front.

I placed my Yupo paper behind the aperture and then cut a few leaves and berry stems from plain white card, using M & C Boutiques dies.

I arranged the stems behind the window and then glued them into place before snipping off the ends. I also added a die-cut Mum sentiment using a Cut and Make die and the same white card.

Then I heat embossed a simple Happy Birthday Sentiment with Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder, and added this to the front using foam tape, before I added it all to a plain blue note card.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

A New Baby Girl

Good morning all, I hope you are having a great start to your week, and if you are in the UK, enjoyed a nice long weekend.

We had a new addition to the family arrive last week, in the shape of my new baby granddaughter Willow. She was just a week early and is absolutely perfect. Today's card is one of the ones I made for her.

I used Tim Holtz Alcohol Pearl Inks to create a soft rainbow background on Yupo Paper, then I stamped, coloured and die-cut my elephants using the Clearly Besotted Love You Tons set and Copic Markers.

I added the images to my background and then framed and layered them using Lawn Fawn Stitched Square dies,. The sentiment is cut from the same piece of Yupo paper, using a couple of Cut and Make Sentiments.

Then I added it all to a 5.5 x 5.5 card blank to finish. 

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.
