CAS Mix Up Alcohol Inks on Vellum

Wow...Fabulous Alcohol Inks on Vellum CAS Mix Up Challenge hosted by the 

clever and creative Coni (Which Craft?).

There are amazing and creative cards posted by our talented Design Team and our 

very talented CAS Guest Designer, Hannelie (desert diva).  Be sure and check them out:-)

You have until the 24th to play along, which we would Love!

Here is my Alcohol Ink Pearls on Vellum cardstock card made for my special friend, 

Daisy's 92nd Birthday.  She loved it...especially all the shine:-)

It was impossible to get a decent photo of the shine from the Ranger Alcohol Pearls Ink 

on SU Vellum cardstock,  but it was truly Stunning:-) 

 I used the salad spinner technique using vellum instead of Yupo paper.  I placed a small piece of SU Vellum Cardstock in the spinner and added drops of Alcohol Ink Pearls ink onto vellum and drops of Blender Solution and then spun the salad spinner.

Here is another one of my posts using the salad spinner with Yupo paper and Alcohol Pearls Ink.  It has a link to our dear friend, Karen (Snippets) photo tutorial.

When happy with the results I removed the background from spinner and used a large acrylic block to weight down the background until it dried.

Next die cut favorite area of background with Memory Box Stitched Circle Die. 

Die cut a piece of SU 100# cardstock and attached to stitched circle with Connect Glue.

Weighted down over night, then attached to White Craft Foam with Connect Glue.

Next die cut Alexandra Renke Die Cut Grasses 3 times and stacked using Connect Glue.  Then...you guessed it... glued grasses to circle and weighted down with block.

Used MISTI to center the SSS Thoughtful Messages and stamped with Archival Jet Black Ink.

Then attached main image to White Craft Foam and then to SU Basic White 100# card base

and Done!  Loved my 1st Alcohol Pearls Ink on Vellum Card:-)

We would love to have you play along in Coni's cool challenge!

Love and Hugs..
