Barley Silhouette

Hi everyone.  Today is my reminder card for CAS Mix Up's July Challenge - Alcohol Ink Lift, hosted by Bonnie.

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 ...
Hope you'll check out the challenge blog to see the new reminder cards from the rest of our Designers and Guest Designer, Michelle.  Come play along!  We'd love to see you in the galleries!

    These tones are definitely wheat field colours. I love how nice and crisp this lifting was achieved with the stencil. Impressive! xx

    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.

    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
