Stampin Up Pampered Pets with Alcohol Ink and Stampin Up for Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge

Welcome to my blog today. I am using the latest sketch for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #596.  I have never played with this set and I was excited to play with the doggie. I thought his gray color really popped on the alcohol ink background I created.  I can always use a good dog card.

Here is the sketch.  It's a really versatile one this week.

I used iridescent foil on the alcohol ink background, a favorite technique of mine, so I tucked an irisdenscent scrap as the smallest paper piece in the sketch.

Ingredients:

Various Alcohol inks

Stampin Up Pampered Pets stamps

Spectrum Noir Tri Blend Brown Grey Blend pen

Copic Black 100 pen

Spellbinders Large Deckled Rectangle die

misc papers, card stock including Creative Memories, Bazzill, American Craft and foil

Momento Tuxedo Black ink

Alcohol Ink with foil and Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

Hello and welcome.  I have my latest inspiration for  Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge today.  I used a lot of scraps in this design. First the alcohol ink panel is a scrap from other cards.  All the fishtails are from scrap as well. I used the 1" Creative Memories square punch to create the tails. I inked the edges of all the pieces with black.

Here is the sketch:

I cut the hello sentiment twice once in iridescent and once in black to create a shadow.

Another view.

Ingredients:

Alcohol Inks

Foil

misc card stock

Stampin Up Hello die

enamel dots

Amazing Alcohol Ink Card

Welcome to my blog today. It's going to be an amazing day!  How can it not be with so many days off to craft! I was so pleased with this alcohol ink background. I wanted to show as much of this gorgeous background as possible. I framed the card with the largest die from the Divinity Designs Double Stitched Rectangles set. I cut the bold sentiment from metallic silver paper using Stamplorations Amazing cutploration die.

While creating the background I smooshed scrap foil on the still drying ink layered on black gloss card stock.  The foil sticks to the still wet puddles where the colors meet.  It is even more striking in person.

Ingredients:

Divinity Designs Double Stitched Rectangles

black glossy paper

Stamplorations Cutplorations Amazing die

Metallic silver paper

alcohol ink

silver foil

Kindred Stamps Witches gotta Stick together with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

Hello and welcome to my blog today.  I present my take on this week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. We are teaming up with Double Trouble Challenge for the next two weeks. I am continuing to use up premade pieces from my stash.  I found this black and pearl alcohol ink background. I decided to continue with the monochromatic theme.  I added washi and die cuts along with a stamped and embossed sentiment.

Here's this week's sketch.

I layered the alcohol background on shimmer paper then a shimmer silver card base.  I used those same papers and more for the die cut foliage.  I almost forgot to mention the halloween charm I added, topped off with twine.  To finish the card I added a few gems.

Here is my desk as I was building the card.

As I enjoy doing, I made a second card with the additional background. Two cards were just logical. However, I changed up the die cuts, charm and washi on this one.  I added a little magical apple!

I die cut multiple flowers and shapes out of monochromatic blacks, grey and whites including shimmers and prints.  I just pulled out my newly organized scraps.  I used Totally Tiffany Collection Keepers for each color.  Well, my blues spilled over into 3 keepers.  I found a bunch at Tuesday Morning a few months ago.  I have successfully filled them all!  It is so easy to find pieces to die cut now in just the right hue.

Ingredients:

Kindred Stamps Salem Sisters sentiment stamp

Colorbox Black ink

Judikins Black Detail embossing powder

Ranger Pitch Black Alcohol ink and Pearl Mixative

Karen Burniston Autumn Elements dies

Karen Burniston Flowers and Bee dies

Spellbinders Seth Apter Trifecta die

Quick Quotes Powderpuff chalking ink Midnight Obsession

metal charms from stash

Washi tape and glitter ribbon

misc papers and card stock

gems

Alcohol Ink Panel with Stampin Up Tin Tile embossing folder for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

Happy Summer Solstice and welcome to my latest post for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. This week we are partnering with Double Trouble challenge with a twist to create your own background.  I did double duty on the twist. I embossed the yellow paper and added a piece of alcohol background.

  

Here is the sketch:

Here is Double Trouble's challenge:

This version I created for my SIL's birthday last week. 

 

The embossing folder is 6x6 so I was able to snip a square from the leftovers on which to mount the butterfly.

I used a die cut sentiment for both, I placed this one inside of the card.

Ingredients:

Alcohol inks on mixed media paper

Stampin Up Sizzix Tin Tile 3D 6x6 Embossing folder

K & Co paper butterflies

Steampunk Hello for Dies R Us

Hi there, today I created a rainbowish background with Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks and Tim Holtz Yupo Paper.  I had so much fun playing with the inks.  I used a straw to blow around the inks.  I let most of the alcohol dry then burnished some scrap foil over the piece.  

Foil stays on the wet area usually where the ink puddles.  

I used metallic paper to die cut the steampunk butterfly and gears.  I added various gems to the center of the gears.  You can really see the burnished foil in this photo.

I used a double stitched rectangle die to create a frame from black glossy card stock for a real pop.

Alcohol Ink Background with Silver Foiling for Dies R Us

Hello dear readers. This was my very first attempt with Alcohol inks and yupo paper.  I admit the first time I tried alcohol inks I was not at all impressed with the result.  I also didn't own any yupo paper. I put them away for years.  I recently saw some of the lovely backgrounds, watched a video or two and decided my poor result previously was from not using ALL the appropriate supplies.  So I ordered yupo paper and a few new ink colors.  Needless to say I was much more impressed with the results this time around.

I used a very basic straw technique to move the ink around and didn't dilute them very much resulting in vibrant colors.  I also used scrap foiling on the slightly wet background to create the silver layer in the background. I simply burnished left over pieces over the top. When there is a lot of ink still not completely dried the foil sticks.

 

I layered my metallic cuts on black card stock cuts to strengthen the them and created a three dimensional effect.  I also cut and emboss to get all the details from the dies.

From the side you can see how the cuts pop on the surface and the beauty of all the silver foil highlights.

I used a Frantic Stamper stitched rectangle die that is no longer available to create my frame.  I linked a very similar Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Rectangle that you could use to create this same frame.  I used very strong tape to keep the alcohol ink background panel on the thin framed card.  I wanted to show off as much of the background as possible.
