Twofer Cards using Alcohol Inks

How's your weekend going???   I've been having some fun with my Alcohol Inks on Vellum - experimenting with different mists on top of the colourful panels....couldn't capture the shiny for the photos but it's lovely

• created my lovely vellum piece using wild plum and butterscotch Adirondack AI, lightly misted with blending solution and then a mist with a Gold Pearl Ex and water blend.
• trimmed the panel and not wanting to waste any, created two cards

Card 1

• Die cut a frame with Poppy Craft stitched flag tails - reversing during the cutting to create a rectangle.
• Layered the AI vellum onto cream card to enhance the colours and assembled the panel
• Stamped and gold embossed sentiment from Happy Little Stampers -Especially for You set onto the bottom of a white card
• Die cut a flower stem - Sizzix - Wildflower Stems #1 from white card and attached to the card

Card 2

• Stamped and gold embossed the flower heads from Happy Little Stampers - Dandelion Wishes onto the vellum
• then attached the piece to shiny gold card, leaving a small border to frame the panel and fixed to a white card
• Stamped and gold embossed and fussy cut the sentiment from Jillibean - Balloon Party set and attached with foam tape.
