Create Your Own Background #1 - Hello

Today begins a series of Create Your Own Background cards that I've decided to make.  I've been digging deep into my stash to use products I haven't used in a while.  For the next 4 days I will be sharing a card I've created using Alcohol Inks.


For this card, which measures A2, I used Ranger Alcohol Inks to create the background.  I didn't have any Yupo paper so I coated a piece of 110 lb. white card with Golden Satin Glazing Liquid.  The Glazing Liquid creates a waterproof background so I was able to play with the inks.  They didn't move as much as they would have with Yupo paper I suppose but I didn't want to purchase any - I wanted to use what I have here.  

The sentiment was computer generated as I don't have a sentiment stamp that large.  I printed the sentiment of heavy parchment paper and die cut it with an oval die I had in my stash.  I carefully traced the lettering from the back with Art Glitter Glue and adhered to the card front.  Lastly, I added some Nuvo Drops in White for accent.  I like this card, the coloring is nice; I'm pleased with this one.

Until Next time, Happy Crafting!
