June has been an awesome 5th Birthday Celebration for Shery , the owner of
STAMPloration and her amazing DT!
I am CASE'ing my friend, Harriet's (allycatcards) beautiful ARTplorations
Stenciled "Flutter By" watercolored card.
Here is my Alcohol Ink Version.
What a difference ink and paper can make. Harriet used watercolor paper and inks
and I used Yupo paper and T.H. Alcohol Inks. I love both cards!
I have been working on a major purge of my craft room.
Today when I saw Design Team Harriet's
3 favorite and 3 new STAMPlorations cards it reminded me that I had
this beautiful stenciled "Flutter By" background in my alcohol ink stash.
I used the same design as Harriet for my finished card, but did add a
STAMPlorations sentiment, "Fond Expressions 2".
Thank you Harriet for the Inspiration.
You have until June 30th to play along with Shery's awesome Celebration.
Happy Birthday Shery and DT girls:-)

ReplyDeleteStunning.....Your inks, colours and technique is amazing. Great take on Harriets card and great to see how different the cards are using different mediums etc. Eye catching and unique card, which I love x
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Mac. I so appreciate your comments. Love when saved backgrounds work out. Sure makes for a quick and easy card, especially when CASE'ing a friend:-) Hugs..
DeleteOh my, Nancy. This is a gorgeous CASE. Love how your butterflies look. Thank you for helping STAMPlorations celebrate 5 years.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Nancy, this is brilliant! I love what you have done and have decided you are the Queen of Alcohol Inks. Just love this. hugs,
ReplyDeleteWho would have thought I would be queen of...anything! Thanks for making my day, my friend. Hugs...
DeleteNancy what an amazing effect with the AI's. I love the artsy effect :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mix of AI colours! I love the sentiment you chose - the swirly font of "smile" really goes with the butterflies.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how you stenciled this beautiful "Flutter By" background with Alcohol Ink at first, and then I read the Alcohol Ink Stenciling Technique on your blog post (the passionate Sunflower card). You used more colors this time and achieved fantastic results. I love the butterflies' vibrant and gorgeous colors and the flowing artsy look! Hugs.. Hideko
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, vivid colors that make this AWESOME, Nancy! What a beautiful card and a perfect sentiment as this card makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed at the distinct impressions you get with this technique. What gorgeous colors! This one is a real show stopper, Nancy
ReplyDeleteWOW, Nancy! This is one of your masterpieces! 'Nuff said. Sheesh!
ReplyDeleteYou make me "blush", my friend. Thank you. Hugs...
DeleteI LOVE how you do that alcohol inks through stencil Nancy. You have mastered that technique and your card is gorgeous! xx
ReplyDeleteWow--this is a stunning work of art! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is SOOOOOOO gorgeous! I assume this means you don't mind your stencils getting stained? What an eyecatcher, Nancy. Thanks so much for playing with us at STAMPlorations Birthday party!
