Roses are Something Special

This card starts with the Rose die from Penny Black
cut out of alcohol ink backgrounds.

The rose is mounted on white linen cardstock and then
Stampin' Up Pretty in Pink cardstock, 

 both cut out of Spellbinders Dies.
The pink layer is mounted with dimensionals
onto the white linen cardstock base
which is scored on both sides.

The words are from Technique Tuesday Greenhouse Society,
stamped with Stampin' Up Pretty in Pink ink and
cut with an oval Spellbinders die.

I am entering this card in the Penny Black die challenge,
 which is my very first challenge ever!

Also, I entered this card in the Through the Craft Room Door

Sunflower Cards

My friend and I had another "Fun" Day. Once we get started with the alcohol inks - we just can't seem to quit. It is so awesome to see the varieties of shades of colors that come out of just one inking of the felt pad. I can generally get 6 backgrounds out of one inking with a little additional alcohol blending solution on the last 2 cards. It was fun to decorate the insides of the cards, too. If you haven't tried playing with alcohol inks - you certainly should!

Mustang Alcohol Ink

Wow! This Stampscapes Mustang Stamp is such a detailed stamp!
It's pretty clear that alcohol inked backgrounds are by far my most
favorite mode of operation!!!
Playing with alcohol inks are so interesting.
 Even when I use the same color inks on a  new felt pad -
 I never seem to get the same look again.          
 I can generally get 5 or 6 backgrounds on glossy cardstock (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") out of 1 felt pad just
by adding a few drops of blending solution on the last two!
The shades differences are so awesome!!!!
Fun, Fun, FUN!!!
