My card features all the items received in the October Simon Says Stamp kit plus a couple of extras. The kit is encouraging a new obsession for me. I didn't jump on the alcohol ink band wagon before but I think it has me hook, line and sinker. Look look look....
I am not even a fan of orange but I love this! The focal point of my card was made with 2 of the colors of alcohol ink that came in the kit - yellow and orange. I tried to blend it with rubbing alcohol but I wasn't getting the results I wanted. So off I went to Michaels with a 50% coupon for blending solution. That looks like fire! It's soooo cool. The kit also came with Lift Off ink which is what I used to stamp the image over the alcohol ink. I also used the leaf stamp to make my base layer. My diamond pieces are from Gina K foil mates and I foiled them with two of the colors of foil that came in the kit. My card elements covered the whole card which is the sketch blown up but I am still super happy with how this turned out.
Have a great day and we'll see you over at the TMS blog!
7 Encouraging Thoughts:
Very nice sketch and lovely work with the alcohol ink. I am surprised how many people are just trying them now. One of my favorite techniques is the polished stone with alcohol ink. It is fun and pretty to do. TFS!
Thank you for visiting Heidi. I don’t know what the polished stone technique is. I’ll have to look it up on You Tube.
This is so pretty with those fabulous inky colors and image stamped right into them. Beautiful take on the sketch!
Oh man Melissa this is G E O R G E O U S!!!
Fun card, Melissa. I love SSS kits. They always have fun ideas! Your background is beautiful. I've resisten alcohol ink so far but I've seen such wonderful backgrounds using it. Love yours.
Sounds like a complicated process, but it sure is beautiful!! Every element is wonderful!!
Really pretty card. I have had all the necessary elements for alcohol inks for years, but don't ever think about using them (smile). You've done a lovely job creating your main image. I've been enjoying watching you try out new and different techniques each week. Your "kits" are definitely making you grow in your skills and card making. Great work!
