Alcohol blends technique with video tutorial

I shared this fun technique on a recent video; I call it the Alcohol Blends Background.  

Alcohol Blending cards Save

For the cards above I added pretty floral die-cuts from the Paper Florist dies.  The greetings are from the Kindest Expressions stamp set.  The background colors were made with the following Blends: Left card Mossy Meadow & Lemon Lime Twist. Right card was Berry Burst & Blackberry Bliss.  

To achieve this cool background you need Blends or alcohol markers and rubbing alcohol in a spritzer bottle. I used regular Basic White card stock and a clear plastic folder to work on. You can watch the video here.  

I tried many color combinations; you can see some of the finished cards below plus the backgrounds too.

  • Snail Mail & Pretty Perennials; a cute combo with video!

    Here are the cards I created for Monday night's FB Live video.  It was 'Stamp with Me' night which occurs on the 2nd & 4th Monday nights.  Join me here! 

    Snail Mail cards Jan Live Save

    When I first saw the Snail Mail designer paper I fell in love!  I had absolutely no idea it would be this cute.  Have you found that to be true?  You see things in a catalog and think they're okay or kind of nice. But then in real life you are amazed?!  This is one of those papers!

    This was inspired by a similar card I received in a swap from my friend Dawn Olchefske.  

    Here they are separately:

    My colors were chosen by the adorable Snail Mail DSP – Bermuda Bay, Real Red, Blushing Bride & Pool Party.

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • main layer – stamped or textured 4" X 5 1/4"

  • Beautiful Vine Design with Oh So Ombre with video!

    What do you think of the Oh So Ombre designer paper?  Have you seen it yet?  If not look here.  

    OH SO OMBRE 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

    It's a 6 X 6" pack of 48 sheets of Designer Series Paper.  There are 2 designs and 4 colors in this pretty pack and it's FREE with any $50 order during  Sale-a-Bration! 

    I created this card with it for a Flowerbug's swap a few weeks ago. The first card features the Bermuda Bay color in the pack.   

    Oh so Ombre Bermuda Vine Save

    Of course I chose to use all new products!  The pretty stitched outline is from the Stitched with Whimsy dies seen here.  I love that they don't actually cut; they just stitch a pretty outline. You can really notice the Ombre since I switched the die when I inserted it back in the window. Watch how in the video. 

    The intricate die is from the Flowering Vines die.  It's part of the bundle with the Vine Design stamp set which is where the greeting images are from.  See them here.
