Alcohol Ink Valentine’s Day Card: Valentine’s Day Card Series Day 5

January 26, 2022

Hey everyone. We are to the final day of the Valentine’s Day Card Series for 2022. After watching a video by Tim Holtz I was inspired to pull out my alcohol pearl inks and play. And I’m so glad I did because the cards I created came out so pretty! Let’s dive into the cards.

In the tutorial you will see how easy it was to create these gorgeous alcohol peal ink backgrounds. Remember, when you are playing or creating with alcohol inks just have fun. It takes practice to really learn how the inks will move so the more you use them the better you will understand how it flows.

The clean and simply style of these cards really make me happy. They were super easy to create and I will now leave my inks out more often to just create with no card design in mind.

Using that gorgeous Stylized Heart from Simon Says Stamp, pulls all this gorgeousness together.

You can watch the tutorial here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy. Affiliate links are used before for the products used in the video are link below at no cost to you.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have enjoyed the series this year. See you back here soon.

Altenew Suddenly Spring Stand-alone Dies Release Blog Hop + Giveaway($300 in Total Prizes)

April 19, 2021

Hey everyone. Welcome to the Altenew Suddenly Spring Stand-alone Dies Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. Thrilled to be on the hop with everyone. You should have arrived here from Theresa’s blog. I have several card examples for you today. This release was so much fun to create with.

My first card features the beautiful Altenew Mini Flower cluster and Slim Sentiments dies. The Slim Sentiments die is actually one line of text however I trimmed between the words to stack my sentiment. And the flower clusters are gorgeous for a pretty spring card.

The second card I created I used the Whimsical layering Gardening die along with the Circular Elements dies. I loved pairing these two die sets together. Using my Altenew alcohol makers I colored in the first layer of the flower and to add a striking flower I decided to outline the flower with black card stock. What a WOW factor having that graphic black outline. The sentiment is from the Inspiration Quotes stamp set.

And for my last card, a gorgeous white on white card is beautiful. Adding just a touch of color for my sentiment and this card was complete. It really can’t get more clean and simple than this. I love the texture of the Reflections die! The sentiment is from the Poppy Arrangement Floral Outline stamp set.
