My first card for the challenge is HERE if you want to go and look!
My background was created using Wild Plum and Watermelon Alcohol Inks on Yupo.
I dried a little with a heat gun then took a small piece of Deco Silver Foil and pressed it down and rubbed my finger randomly onto the background.
This is a fun technique as after each press down and rub, when you lift off the foil piece some of it has transferred to the AI (usually where the 2 colours have 'pooled' together) and gives a 'marbling' effect.I stamped and heat embossed the flower (Flower Power Set #8) and fussy cut, and used the sentiment/die from the Kindness Blooms set.
Much as I like this AI/Foil combo it is a nightmare to photograph but I hope that you like my bright background and my happy flower!
You may be lucky like me and win!
Happy Crafting! x

What a great background using alcohol inks and I really like the stitched effect around the aperture which shows off the image - lovely card.
Oh wow, another stunning background you've made there Viv. The colours are gorgeous and I love the touches of gold. Fabulous

Thank you for explaining the background technique with foils, will certainly have a go with that. Yupo is so much fun to play with and yours looks beautiful. X
A gorgeous card Viv.

This is so beautiful! Love the colours and the foiling is beautiful!
Love your luscious inky panel Viv, looks fab even if it was tricky to photo! :)
I love how the foil looks on this awesome AI background, Viv! It perfect for showing off this heat embossed flower!
Such a fabulous effect with the alcohol inks and foil. A great colour combination too x. Cute embossed flower and a striking card Viv x.
Lovely card, definitely bright and happy! Love the marbled look of the foil, I may have to try this as nothing else foiled has liked me!
Love the use of the dies around the image and the rich red background, lovely golden image too.

Such a super card Viv, I love that alcohol bg too ;) hugs Viv xx
A lovely card Viv and I bet the silver looks good in real life.
I've never used foil, but this looks good in the marbling effect.

Beautiful AI background and love the touch of gold foil :)
Fantastic use of AIs Viv, so bright and pretty and the silver embossed flower goes perfectly over the top, and the stitched window shows it all off perfectly. x
