Alcohol Ink Butterfly

Hi Friends! It is Dana here today and I am excited to be back on the PPP blog sharing a card with you all. For my card, I am using a fun mix of supplies from Pretty Pink Posh. Let’s get started, shall we?

I started my card by creating an alcohol ink background. I used a rainbow of pearl colors and yupo paper. The colors I used were Pearl Deception, Splendor, Alchemy, Envy, Tranquil and Villainous. I added the inks directly to a piece of felt (attached to a dauber), added a little blending solution and swiped it across my Yupo paper. Once my panel was dry I ran it through my die cutting machine with the Bold Butterflies Die. Don’t you just love this butterfly? It is so fun and I love all the possibilities with this type of die.

For my card layout, I splattered a white panel with a little black reinker. I then used the Scallop Border 1 Die to create the decorative edge at the bottom of my white panel. Next, I used a leftover piece of my alcohol ink paper for the bottom of the card. To finish my card, I stamped my sentiment from the Simple Sentiments Stamp Set and heat set it with white embossing powder. Lastly, I attached my butterfly and sentiment to my card panel with foam adhesive. 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope I inspired you to pull out your alcohol inks and create some fun patterns for die cutting. Have a wonderful day.
