Alcohol ink cards seem to be all the rage now. I have to admit, they are one of my new favourites to make—the technique is quite easy, quick to do, and very cool! I hope you agree!

To do this technique, I started with a 2-3/4” x 4-1/8” piece of Vellum Cardstock. I scribbled all over it (filling in most of the space) with the dark shades of Stampin’ Blends in Highland Heather, Balmy Blue, Misty Moonlight, and Night of Navy.

Then I used a Water Painter and first dabbed gently all over the vellum with 99% alcohol, and then flicked the wet Water Painter over the vellum to make spots (the second step is optional). After this was completely dry, I stamped the trees from Campology with Memento, and then used tiny rectangles of Seal+ to adhere the vellum to a 3” x 4-5/16” Fresh Freesia rectangle (cut with our Stitched Rectangles Dies), and then to a Basic Black cardstock mat cut with our Scalloped Contours Dies (I love this die set!). The card front was glued to an 8-1/2” x 5-1/2” (scored at 4-1/4”) Highland Heather card base, and I added a Fresh Freesia sentiment strip and three Rhinestone Basic Jewels to finish the card.

 

I made a few versions of this card using different colours of card bases—Fresh Freesia above, and Gorgeous Grape and Balmy Blue below. Which is your favourite?
