On the 12th of each month we have a challenge amongst friends. Create SOMETHING making a mess SOMEHOW. LOL Each of us can define "messy" in our own way, but we must end up with a card. It's a lot of fun!
This month I decided to dig out the Alcohol inks and Silver Sparkle Alcohol Ink Cardstock by Ranger and see where it took me. Here's what I ended up with:
flat foam top, applying the ink directly to the foam top.
Next I dug out a set of Stampin Cut & Emboss dies by Stampin Up. The name of the set is Gorgeous Garden. I cut one of each die panel from each of the silver blended panels and mounted them onto black cardstock. The rectangle and the sentiment are mounted with black foam tape
Using the trimmed scraps from both silver panels I punched out some dragonflies and created a rounded rectangle to mount the "Grateful for You" sentiment, which is part of the Elegant Thoughts set by Gina K Designs.
The "Thank You" script die is by Picket Fence Studios. I colored black cardstock with Cloud 9 Silver Shine Metallic ink pad by Lisa Horton Crafts (direct to paper). When it was thoroughly dry I die cut out the sentiment and mounted it on 3 black die cut sentiments to make it more sturdy and give a hint of dimension to the card.
I kept returning to the panels over several days. Not because of difficulty, but because I couldn't find just the right way to use them. Now I'm glad that I took my time because I like how they turned out. The shine on both are very pretty.
