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.
