June Monthly Ink.Stamp.Share Blog Hop - Alcohol Ink Blending

Hello and welcome, whether you are starting the hop here or have joined me from Annette's blog (and her fabulous project). There's so much inspiration from the team, so please check out what there is to share with you.

For this month's blog hop, I decided to use the alcohol ink blending technique and combined it with the Turtle Friends Bundle and Butterfly Brilliance dies.

I made these cards on my recent Facebook live, so you can see how I pulled them together here.

The technique is so easy, all you need is Isopropyl alcohol also known as rubbing alcohol, a paint brush/aqua painter, a small dish/cup and a straw. Although you don't have to use a straw - but it is fun!

Firstly, I made a simple birthday card using the Turtle Friends bundle, which is quickly becoming a favourite due to how cute it is!

I used a range of colours to create the background on vellum- Polished Pink, Mango Melody, Just Jade, Misty Moonlight and Fresh Freesia. To get the colours to pop, I stuck the vellum to a piece of Basic White.

I then stamped and coloured my turtle on Basic White before punching out. I added a little hat (also in the stamp set) and fussy cut it out. Then I finished with a white heat embossed sentiment on black.

I stamped a little turtle on the inside piece and added the sentiment from the Happiest Birthdays stamp set.

I then went on to use the same background technique, letting those watching to pick the colours. I utilised the dies from the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle to cut some butterflies from rainbow glimmer paper (another favourite of mine), 

I added the same heat embossed sentiment and finished with some self adhesive sequins from the artistry blooms pack.

To the inside, I used the large sentiment from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set and added a little butterfly, also cut from the rainbow glimmer paper.

I hope you like them, please let me know what you think!
