I glued down the white die-cut card fronts over top of the alcohol ink panels and then popped them up on foam over the card base. I added a white heat embossed black sentiment banner for each card to finish.
Here's a close-up of the cards. This first one was sent to my dear friend Mary for her birthday last month.

Simply stunning alcohol ink twofers, Loll! I love the fabulous color combination and the AI effect! This cover die really shows off the gorgeous AI backgrounds, and the black strip with the white heat-embossed sentiment pops against the vibrant colors. Great choices! Hideko xx

Beautiful cheery backgrounds for that terrific white floral die cut. The crisp white card really brings the gorgeous colours out. Love them both xx
Brilliant, Lolly! Those white cover plates work wonders with all the Brusho and alcoholic background papers we end up with! The colors on these are stunning! Hugs, Dolly
stunning!!! as your work always is .
Fabulous cards! Very inspiring! How on earth did you manage to get the alcohol ink colours to blend so smoothly? ;) Question: Did you use one or more layers of the Nenah cardstock when die cutting?
Hi Kesu. I smooshed the alcohol inks to get them to blend smoothly. Used only one layer of white card stock for the top die-cut. Loll :)
Wow, you're quick. Thanks so much. How did you smoosh them? I blow with a straw but can't get that smooth blending :(
I squirt the Alcohol inks onto a piece of aluminum foil (foil protects your work surface). Add blending solution (or rubbing alcohol) to thin it out, place yupo (or glossy card stock) over top, press and twist. Pull up and see where there are bare spots and dip those areas in the leftover ink. If you ink starts to dry on the foil before you're finished, just add a little more blending solution to reactivate it. You can also use the foil with dried ink to create a background for your cards. Loll :)
Thank you so so much. That helped a lot. I didn't know you could do smooshing with alcohol ink. I will certainly give it a try. xx
