Crackerbox & So Suzy Stamps - Love and Happiness

Hi Everybody,

a few of my card friends have shown some alcohol ink cards and this inspired me to get mine out again and play.


My stamp supplies: 

Forgive me for not having pictures of the process, but it is impossible to make an alcohol ink background and take pictures while you doing it. I like to wet my paper with blending solution - or even better 99% isopropyl alcohol, which only costs a fraction of the blending solution. I drip alcohol ink on it and use my heat tool to move the ink around and dry it. I took a regular brush and flicked clear alcohol onto the card, which gives you those little light colored bubbles. I took the bloom stamps and heat embossed them. If you use Yupo paper you have to be real careful, because it warps easily. The "paper" I used is Grafix opaque white craft plastic - a present from my blogging friend Aileen Ryan from Colour and Sparkle. THANK YOU Aileen - that stuff is fantastic!!!!


I trimmed my craft plastic and added it to the card. The sentiment I simply stamped on a piece of scrap paper and added it with foam tape. Also added some sequins.

Wow what a vibrant and fantastic card. The line stamped images are so pretty and what a lovely sentiment. Yes I have trouble heat setting on Yupo so will go on the hunt for the paper you used and take a closer look x.

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
