Hugs and Kisses for Paper Rose

Today, I'm sharing a card using a large sentiment die from Paper Rose.

I created the background for this card using a technique I learned in an online retreat with Lydia Fiedler of Understand Blue. I started with black synthetic cardstock, and added a few drops of white alcohol mixative and blending fluid. I added a couple of drops of blue and pink alcohol ink over the top of the white, and then spread out the puddle of mixed inks with a spray can of compressed air. Before it dried completely, I smoothed a sheet of Minc foil over the top, which adhered to the parts that were still tacky. 

I cut the panel down to just smaller than my white card base, then cut the Hugs and Kisses die from white cardstock and adhered it over the alcohol ink panel. I used the negative piece of the die cut to line up the letters and the hearts perfectly.

Rainbow on black

I made this rainbow birthday card by using alcohol pearls on top of snowdrop mixative on black synthetic paper. The sentiment strip is from Paper Rose.

Alcohol inks on black

 I  recently attended the most fabulous virtual retreat run by Lydia Fiedler of Understand Blue. She demonstrated a technique using black synthetic paper, a couple of drops of alcohol inks and white mixative, spread out using a quick spurt from a can of compressed air! I added some gold foil over the top and these are a couple of the many cards I came up with.

Don't spend too long looking at this next one, or you might find it looking back (it totally looks like an iris!)
