This time I created a softer coloured background using pink, peach and a little yellow. Then I placed a barley stencil over top and used a sponge dauber
lightly wet with blending solution. It worked well as long as I didn't add too much blending solution, otherwise it would leak under the stencil and just make blobs. Ask me how I know this. :) I wanted to make this into a masculine birthday card so added a simple dark gray sentiment banner, heat embossed with white and then popped the panel up on my card base.
Here's a close-up ...

Such a unique and beautiful effect with using the blending solution with the stencil and lifting off the inks Loll x. Wonderful CAS card with a fabulous technique x.
Such a beautiful color palette and I love that you chose the barley stencil for your lift technique, Loll! Love the font on your sentiment, too...a lovely CAS birthday card! Barb xx
Beautiful, love the soft colours and the "atmosphere" it gives.

Love this card, Loll, another great design using this alcohol lift technique. xx
I love these soft colors, Loll! They are perfect with the barley stencil lifted and the gray panel sentiment is perfect! Love this card!
These tones are definitely wheat field colours. I love how nice and crisp this lifting was achieved with the stencil. Impressive! xx
Beautiful colour combo Loll and I love the delicate barley stencil. good to know about only a little alcohol lift :)
This is my favorite color combination. Love this and love the stenciling. I also get a kick out of the blending solution. I really really have to try this. Great card, Loll!
So pleased you shared your alcohol ink lift stenciled card with us at CAS Stencil, Loll. I love your alcohol ink color combo and sentiment design. A wonderful guy card, my friend. Hugs..Nancy
Oh I love the softer colored background, Loll! Your stenciled lifting (barley) is so clear, and the dark gray sentiment strip goes so well with the AI colors. Awesome card!

So stylish, Loll ... the graphic shape of the lifted images is such a great contrast to the soft AI background ... the font on the sentiment is brilliant with them! Hugs, Anita :)

Love the soft colours and the beautiful barley stamp. Your AI lift worked perfectly - thanks for the tip about not using too much blending solution. I must get a card made for that challenge as I really like the effect.
Oh my, this is just stunning Loll. I love the beautiful soft colors of alcohol inks you used and I really love that stencil. Such a beautiful combination for sure and made a stunning card. Hugs, Brenda
This looks fab .... I love the soft colours, perfect background for that pretty stencil xx
AH-mazing job lifting, Loll. The barley images are so clean and crisp. Beautiful soft delicate colours and I love that it’s a masculine card. xx
The barley looks wonderful lifted off your panel Loll - what a great mix of colors you used on your background!
You have the feeling that working with a template would bring the best results. I always admire your cards made in this technique. A wonderful background with a black banner creates the perfect card for a man
