I've scheduled this post as I wanted to share another make for the challenge at CAS Mix Up which is to use Alcohol Inks on Vellum. My other posts for the DT are here and here
Also sharing over at MMM - Trees
My vellum sky was done using Watermelon, Orange Sunset and Citrus alcohol inks, mixed with a liberal helping of blending solution.
The trees were popped onto the base card and the vellum piece with 3d foam and it has quite a good dimension in real life.
The sentiment was inked in Memento Canteloupe which is not a bad match at all!
I will be absent from blogland for a while as I'm taking an enforced break from crafting. 
We have sold our house and are having to move into a rented property on 21st July as the purchase of our next home 
will not be completed until September.
will not be completed until September.So the craft room has been finally all packed away 
- I am hoping to be able to do a little whilst in the rental as I will get withdrawal symptoms if I have to wait till September to get out the card and inky stuff!

A gorgeous card with AI. Good luck with your move and can't wait to see your new home.
Another fabulous card. You are obviously going to have a pretty busy time ahead but I do hope you can find time and space to some crafting, even if it is only a little bit to stave off withdrawal symptoms. All the best with everything, Take care.
Love the die-cut trees and fabulous inky sky.Good luck with both moves

Well Viv this is a lovely card, so sunny and bright with that super background for your trees. I hope the move goes well for you...I remember how stressful moving can be! Take care, i shall miss your inspiration. xx
We are neighbors in the gallery at Make My Monday so I wanted to drop by and say Hi Neighbor. Yes the sentiment color is the perfect match with your inks. All good wishes on your hiatus and especially on the double move.
So pretty great colour combo ♥
beautiful effect with the speckles of colour from the AI's on velum ♥
Your AI sky is simply amazing, I love it. Good luck with our move tomorrow, I am sure it will all work out in the end. We will miss you while you are gone though xx
I don't envy you, my friend! I'll bet when it's all over, you'll create something fantastic with cardboard! Love, love, love this AI background! Gorgeous colors and so pretty with the white trees! Thank you so much for the lovely birthday card! I love the stenciling and that awesome stamp! Take care and stay sane, my friend!
Wow! Gorgeous! What a beauty, Viv

Your gorgeous card drew me in; I love your background with the pop of white branches! I bet you will come back renewed and refreshed and your hands won't be able to catch up with all the crafty ideas you've built up! Blessings~
What a beautiful effect with the alcohol inks and the colours look amazing and so is your card Viv x. Good luck with the move into the rental and sending hugs x.

Your warm sunset-y colors with that crisp white make my heart happy, Viv! It's a gorgeous design! I must have missed the bit about the move. I wish you all the best with everything the next three months with the move, finalizing your new place, another move, and settling your MIL! It will be chaos for sure, so it's good you have taken the blog off your plate for now. Don't forget to send your new address when you get a chance. Hugs, Dolly D.
Well it’s a beautiful card to leave us with.
Best of luck with all the moving you’ll be doing both for yourself and your MIL.
Hugs, Sarn xxx
Congrats on getting your new house and setting up the move to the rental. A LOT of work, my friend! I'm with you about cardboard boxes ... moving is NOT FUN! Hope all goes well with finding something for your MIL. You need to take a break after your move. Relax and put your feet up for a while, you deserve it!
Gorgeous vellum and AI sky, Viv! The colours are so beautiful. I do LOVE that tree die from PB. Take care. Love, Loll
Well your card is fabulous even if your life right now is all over the place! That's a lot to deal with and I hope everything goes smoothly and you are soon back to crafting. Have a beautiful weekend!
Good luck Viv with your move from your rental to your new home...plus your Mum's sale and move...OMG..makes my head spin...but will be wonderful when all the moving in done and you can settle in! Gorgeous Alcohol ink on vellum for your card background, my friend. Such a cool technique. I plan to make more backgrounds for my stash. Loved the technique. TFS all your beauties, my frind. Love and hugs...Nancy
Wow, this card is stunning! I really love the background and the die you used is perfect for my challenge. Thank you for playing with us at the MMM Challenge and hope you can join in again soon.

Wow! Viv, wonerful to see Alcohol inks making a comback. I adore your sky, beautiful. A wonderful card. I wish you all the very best in your rental situation, forcing yourself not to craft is the most difficult emotion to get through. Hope to see you around in blogland, before September. Thanks for sharing with us at Make My Monday. Caz. DT

A new home, how existing! I don’t envy you the preparations though, moving is not like in the movies, nice and tidy while enjoying a glass of wine. Your card looks fantastic, so in love with the colors and the look of the inky sky.
Wow, wow, wow! You know I love trees and that alcohol ink background is sooooo beautiful! Love it!
Absolutely stunning, your inky background is gorgeous and really pops against the white card.
Hugs,
Katrina.
p.s. good luck with your move xx
