Hello - SSC362

Hi everyone. It's time for a new challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  This time we have a sketch from Melissa to try.

I used an alcohol ink background that I had in my stash to create the card using the sketch.  As you can see, I did some ink lifting, which left those wonderful ghost leaves in the background.  The die cut sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp.  Here is the sketch. 

Thanks for stopping by. 

Enjoy your day - SSC341

Hello and welcome to another challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  Here is what I made using the inspiration color prompt photo.

 

I got out my alcohol inks and dropped a bunch of colors that matched the photo below onto a piece of hardboard. Then used alcohol lift ink to create the side panel using a sun stamp from Inkadinkado. I got a little creative using the sun as sea anemones.  The sentiment stamp is from Poppy Stamps.

Just a note - ink lifting

Hello. It's my turn to do a Pick of the Week project and I'm revisiting one I did a while ago on alcohol ink lifting. I had saved one of the backgrounds that I created previously and put it to use for this weeks card. 

You never know when one of the background you create when your having fun will end up working on a new project.  I added some Nuvou black drops for the centers of the flowers. The small butterfly die from Memory Box worked well for the center of the flower vine.  Just a note stamped and heat embossed with inks that match the alcohol inks. Finally, I spritzed this with some sparkle shimmer spritz. I can't believe it actually shows up in the photos.

That's it for now. Join us on Wednesday for our Black and White challenge. 

Thanks,

With Sympathy - ink lifting

Hello. Created this background a while ago using some lift ink off of a alcohol inked panel. Cut it up and used it for this weeks Freshly Made Sketch.

Above is the panel I lifted the ink from using the Natures Wonder stamp set from SA/Tim Holtz.  Sympathy sentiment is from Clearly Besotted.  I used a dark green cardstock from MFT to layer the panels on the card. 

Thanks for stopping in. Take care.

Project of the week - alcohol inks

Hello. It's my turn over at The House That Stamps Built for project of the week. I played around with some alcohol inks and the lift ink to create these two cards.

I have two lift ink pads somewhere, but they are temporarily lost inside in a box, out in the garage from moving. So, I improvised with the reinker and made my own pad using cut and dry stamp pad felt. Worked like a charm.

I used glossy paper and purple, blue and pearl alcohol inks and randomly spread them across the paper. I also used some ink blending solution to move the inks around until I liked what I had. Then I inked up the Flower Power Frame (10202-Q) and stamped it on the purple background. Then stamp again onto another piece of cardstock. 

I cut a circle out of the center for my Hello sentiment and inlayed it back in with coordinating cardstock. The outer panels are adhered to the card base with foam tape. I really like the clean and simple look of the top one. 

Thanks for stopping by today!
