Gorgeous Leaves Thanksgiving Card–Alcohol Blends Technique
I love the background of this card. It features the rubbing alcohol and Stampin’ Blends technique. See the video below for a look at how this technique works.
Basically, choose the Stampin’ Blends colors you want to use. Scribble or color on a piece of Vellum Card Stock. For this card, I used Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake. Then, with a paint brush, drip 91 percent rubbing alcohol onto the colored parts. Watch as the ink spreads and merges to make a cool background. Once it’s dry, you can use the vellum for a variety of card-making purposes. You’ll get a different result each time you try this. Experiment and have fun with it!
In addition, this card uses:
- Stampin’ Up!’s Gorgeous Leaves Bundle found in the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog
- the sentiment from the Banner Year stamp set
- Timber 3D Embossing Folder, also found in the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog
- Stitched So Sweetly Dies
I hope you’ve found some inspiration in today’s project. Be sure to visit all of the blogs on the hop and leave a comment. You could win a Hello Dear Friend card kit.
Congratulations to last month’s winner: Laura Klinkler.
