I mentioned that I'd been messing with Alcohol Inks again so here is the first completed card.Have made rather a mess on the table with these inks.... and a mess on my hands!
LOVED IT!
I followed Loll's technique of scribbling the inks onto foil then smooshing the Yupo through it.
I used two separate pieces of Yupo.
The first piece is really dark (saved for another time) and this is the result with the 'second pass'.
Flicked some white acrylic paint here and there before adding the two die cuts, (cut from some odd leftovers - so it's the Christmas visit to the Playground for me....!)
The sentiment was shadow stamped using my Misti and Versafine Smokey Grey then Versafine Black. It looks a little out of focus on the pic!
I suppose everyone is mad busy getting ready for the weekend... one of the plus things about there just being the 2 of us is there is no mad running about at Christmas. We've done our (small) food and (large) drink shopping, wrapped a couple of pressies up for each other and are ready to hibernate!I did though manage to get my tree up a week early this year - as for some unknown reason I wanted it to be Christmas (for the first time in YEARS - normally I am full of Bah Humbug and the tree makes an appearance around the 24th December!)
Hope you're all surviving the pre Christmas panic - and thanks for taking the time to drop in. x

This alcohol ink background is beautiful Viv and I love the pretty die cut flowers and butterfly over the top and a great idea to shadow stamp the sentiment. What a wonderfully decorated tree and the all white look is so stylish, and I'm definitely with you on the hibernation, as we are also on our own for Christmas and don't intend to do much for a few days. Have a lovely Christmas and look forward to seeing many more of your super cards during 2018. x
