Hello everyone and welcome to the Mixed Media challenge at Happy Little Stampers where the challenge this month is to get out those alcohol inks.
I began by making some backgrounds using the shaving foam and alcohol ink technique
I selected one of the backgrounds and used the My Favorite Things Garden Flourish background to stamp over it and emboss the image with white embossing powder. I die cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die and matted it onto a scalloped black mat.
I added the final sentiment from the Clearly Besotted Delightful Day stamp set, but the card was still lacking something. After looking through my bits and pieces of leftovers, I found a piece of a PTI Paper Clippings die cut, so I trimmed that and added it to my banner, curling the swirl over the edge. I really loved how this worked - how simple hearts are easily pleased lol!
I bet you have some alcohol inks or alcohol pens in your stash, so why not pop over to the Happy Little Stampers blog to see inspiration from the team, and join in with us this month.
We are delighted to have Pooja from Reusing Cards & Quilling joining us as Guest Designer this month, so I hope you will give her a warm welcome.
