We are starting the alphabet again with letter A and today, A is for Alcohol ink. I created my alcohol ink background. I created my alcohol ink background with green and blue alcohol ink along with some gold mixative on vellum following this video:
I couldn't find my adhesive sheets so used a make-up sponge to put a thin layer of liquid glue over the entire back of the vellum and adhered it to white cs.
I used today's sketch challenge for my card adding some gold mirror paper down the right side of my card front.
For the three ornaments, I stamped them using Brilliant Blue, punched them out, and adhered them to the card, popping up the middle one with dimensionals. I added vellum flags to the top and bottom ornament following the sketch (to not obscure the alcohol ink panel) and added the sentiment tag to the middle one. I made this last night and this morning, I woke up thinking a layer of Glossy Accents on the ornaments would make them nice and shiny like real ornaments and would bring shine to the left side of the card too so that is what I did.
Thank you for the challenges and thanks for looking!
