Alcohol Ink Vellum Background Cards

Just a reminder TODAY is the day for FREE SHIPPING with your $50 order!!  My Hostess Code is 6C4NUCZG

I had fun yesterday playing around with Alcohol Ink backgrounds for my cards.  I watched a video on Patty Bennett's site and then grabbed my SU Blends, vellum paper and alcohol!  Here is what I came up with:

I used Pumpkin Pie, Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight dark Blends on this one.

I used Misti Moonlight and Shaded Spruce for this one.

And here are the finished cards using the technique.  I mounted all of them onto white cardstock to make them "pop."

The flower die cut piece and the leaves on the cards below are from Artistically Inked.  I die cut it onto (retired) Cantaloupe cardstock.

This one was mounted on Misti Moonlight and then onto the Just Jade card.

This was the first one I made.  I used Polished Pink, Daffodil Delight and Bermuda Bay Blends.

Alcohol Ink Vellum Background Instructions:

This is my version.  You’ll find many other ways to do this on YouTube

1. Scribble Stampin’ Blends ink onto Vellum Cardstock
2. Spritz with 90% Rubbing Alcohol in a spritzer or spray bottle
3. Dip Brush or Water Painter into Rubbing Alcohol and dab onto each color (doing all of one color at a time, clean brush, move to next color, etc.)
4. Drip, tap and splash Wink of Stella as desired
5. Drip, tap and splash rubbing alcohol
6. Flick more ink from Stampin’ Blends onto project
7. Dry with heat tool if desired
8. Mount to cardstock – mounting on white will really make the colors pop!
