Northern Lights Alcohol Inking Card

Northern Lights Alcohol Inking Tutorial    


Free tutorial to celebrate World Card Making Day!!!






Supplies:

Stamp: Time Of Giving

Card Stock: Basic White and Vellum

Ink: Fresh Freesia

Dies: Giving Gifts

Accessories: Stampin’ Blends; Fresh Freesia Dark, Misty Moonlight Dark and Night Of Navy Light and Wink of Stella

Embossing Folder: Snowflakes

Miscellaneous: Rubbing Alcohol 99%



Directions:

Cut a card base of Basic White to 4 1/4” x 11” and score at 5 1/2”. 


Cut another piece of Basic White C/S to 4” x 5 1/4”. 


Die cut the Giving Gifts Santa Die near the top/center of the Basic White panel. When you die cut out the Santa and Sleigh it creates your rectangle window opening for the Vellum to show through.


 








Then emboss this panel with a Snowflake Embossing Folder (or a star or any Christmas embossing folder) Die cut another Santa and sleigh to glue/layer overtop of the embossed Santa and sleigh. This will add some strength and also not be embossed. 


Cut a piece of Vellum to 3 3/4” x 4”. Using Stampin’ Blends, scribble and add colour all over the Vellum. 


Using 99% rubbing alcohol, dip a small paint brush into the alcohol and dab over the scribbled lines. You just want the colours to bleed and soften the harsh marker lines. If you get some puddling, use a tissue to dab the excess off. Once dry, splatter with some rubbing alcohol to create some spots. Let dry again and splatter with Wink Of Stella. 






Cut a strip of this Vellum panel off to layer under the sentiment strip.


Attach the remainder of the Vellum to the card base using adhesive in the 4 corners. You want the Vellum panel to be behind the die cut. Attach the Basic White die cut panel to the card base and over top the Vellum, using Dimensionals. 


Stamp a sentiment on a Basic White C/S strip using Fresh Freesia Ink. Attach to a strip of the left over Vellum that is slightly larger. Attach to the card front using Dimensionals. 


Add some Rhinestones to finish the card off.

  2. Didn't you have to cut a hole for the vellum to show? Guess I missed something

  3. When you die cut out the Santa and sleigh, it creates the rectangle opening. I hope that makes sense......I will add a photo to the post showing what I mean.
