Happy Monday everyone! Nancy E here with another very clean and simple card featuring the Tim Holtz Alcohol Pearl inks. For more photos and a step by step “how to”, please check out my blog.
For this card, I used the Alcohol Pearl #2 Ink Set and some of the Alcohol Ink Refill Pads that I taped on to a ruler. I added some of the Blending Solution so that the inks would flow and blend. I tried this first on a piece of glossy cardstock but really prefered how it looked when I used the Yupo Paper that is recommended for the Alcohol Inks.
I LOVE how these inks have a wonderful built in shimmer. It’s subtle, but OH so pretty!!!
I then used the word die from the Concord & 9th Wonderful Florals die set to cut out the letters on both the Yupo paper and out of a piece of black cardstock. I was careful to hold on to the centres of the letters cut from the Yupo paper. I put scotch tape along the back of the Yupo paper so that I could stick the black letters in to the Yupo paper. I added in the centres of the letters that I cut from the alcohol background. I added a dark grey mat behind the top layer and added it all on to a white card. I added three gems for a little added dimension.
I think I need to get some more colours so I can play some more!!
Happy Crafting!
