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.

  • Gorgeous Wintery Encircled in Nature card with video tutorial

    This is the other card I shared on my weekly Live video last week.  It's one of my favorites this season. There's something elegant about a mostly white card.

    I added bits of Pretty Peacock in ink and glimmer paper.  The extra White layer is textured with the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder and then I lightly added ink with a Blending Brush. I stamped the trees image plus added a die-cut of the Glimmer Trees. The curvy leaves die and sprig are also part of the dies in the Encircled in Nature bundle seen here.

  • Encircled in Nature in Autumn colors – free project sheet & video tutorial

    I shared this pretty card on last week's Live video. I featured the Encircled in Nature bundle.

    Encircled in Nature fall Save

    My colors include Basic Beige, Cajun Craze and Old Olive.  I used Daffodil Delight, Peach Pie and Calypso Coral for the sunset, adding each color softly with Blending Brushes.

    I textured the extra layer (4" X 5 1/4") of Basic Beige with the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder seen here. Then I lightly sponged Basic Beige ink over it with a Blending Brush. I added Cajun Craze & Old Olive ink to the die-cut leaves with. 

    This pretty bundle is one of our Online Exclusives; available while supplies last.  It's already been out for awhile so I'm wondering how much longer it will be available. *if you want it act fast! 

    Here's a photo of the bundle; click here to see it online.
