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.

The contrast between the fine lines of the flowers and that rich, deep purple AI background is brilliant, Cornelia ... a beautiful balance ... and a gorgeous card! Hugs, Anita :)

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.
