Alcohol Blending
Alcohol isn't just for drinking! I'm talking about Isopropyl 99% Alcohol. (Do not drink it!)
*Tip: it has to be 99% isopropyl Alcohol to work.
This technique has been around for a long time but I didn't have the inks to create this background. I do however have Stampin' Blends! This is a really fun technique with endless possibilities and it is very addicting!
Cut a piece of Vellum Card Stock and a piece of Basic White C/S to 4" x 5 1/4". Start by adding colour to the piece of Vellum using Stampin' Blends. I used Light Pool Party, Dark Bermuda Bay and Dark Balmy Blue Stampin' Blends. I laid down patches of colour, use all 3 Blends, let the colours just touch each other. For this card I only added colour to the left side of the Vellum.
When I was happy with the results, I also splattered some Stampin' Blends Ink onto the Vellum. To do this, use the brush end and tap barrel of the Blend marker firmly with your Bone Folder. It will create a fine detail of splatter. You can also splatter some Wink Of Stella onto the Vellum as well.
Let the Vellum dry. Then using Memento Black Ink, stamp a sentiment. Set aside to dry. Once dry, attach the Vellum C/S to the Basic White C/S of the same size. *Tip: I used the Stampin' Seal to attach the Vellum C/S to the Basic White C/S panel. I added small amounts of Stampin' Seal all around the edges of the Vellum. Attach this panel to a 4 1/16" x 5 5/16" piece of Basic Black C/S.
Cut a piece of Soft Succulent Card Stock to 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2". This is your card base. Attach Vellum Panel to the card base.
Wrap some Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon around the top of the card and tie into a bow. Add some 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card to finish it off.
I hope you liked todays card and get a chance to play with your Stampin' Blends and create some marbled cards!
Happy Stamping and Creating!
