I started by creating an alcohol ink panel on Yupo Paper with very vibrant colours of alcohol inks (purple and orange). I then cut my panel in half (saving the other half for a future project). I layered two pieces of folded paper towel to create a "stamp pad", squirted blending solution onto the towel and then inked up my floral stamp. I stamped onto the AI panel, pressing hard and then removed quite quickly. I love the ghosted image it leaves behind by removing the ink from the stamp. I added a white embossed black banner at the bottom and framed the whole panel with a thick white frame.
Here's the close-up ... (there's a little bit of reflection from the overhead lights on the shiny Yupo panel).

What vibrant and wonderful alcohol ink colours Loll. Such a creative way to use the lift technique and what a stunning effect. Such a beautiful and eye catching card x.
Gorgeous as can be, Loll...so pretty!! Love those bright colors and how you used the lift technique for the soft look with the flowers!! Fabulous card!!
Gorgeous shiny vibrant Alcohol Ink colors on Yupo for your background, Loll. I love how you lifted the alcohol ink using your technique with paper towel and blending solution to stamp onto your flower stamp and then stamp your flowers, which lifted the color. So pretty. Wonderful sentiment and framing that made the alcohol ink background the star:-) I can't wait to try your technique, my friend. Hugs...Nancy
Who would have guessed that the blending solution did such a fantastic job of this. I had purchased the alcohol lift ink but haven't used it yet. Love the vibrant colors you chose for that background. Your white embossed sentiment on black is so perfect on this too.
Fabulous card, Loll, super design. I love the effect of the alcohol lift, I'll have to give this technique a try. xx
What a great idea to make your own lift ink pad, Loll! It worked beautifully to leave an outline of these beautiful flowers! Love that vibrant background!
Gorgeous card, Loll! Your AI panel is so vibrant and beautiful and I love the ghosted impression of the flowers! Beautiful font on your sentiment, too...I'm so impressed, and definitely ready to try this technique with my stamps :) Barb xx
Gorgeous Loll, those are so your colours. wonderfully vibrant mix of orange and pink. Great ink lift with the blending solution. I should crack open my Ink lifting pad it's been a while, I hope it's not dry.
Beautiful vibrant colours, very successful lift-off of the image - and I love the contrast of the black sentiment strip.
Wonderful vibrant background, never thought to use the blending ink to lift. I've tried the lift ink but was a tad disappointed, maybe as I used Copic refills for the background! :)
Beautiful vibrant colours and a clever way of using the lift technique. Gorgeous card xx
Thanks for sharing how you created your 'lift pad' Loll - your card is gorgeous. Love the dark inks on the background, they are so rich!
Blessings

>Loving the colours on your background piece Loll. And that stamp is really pretty! x
The white colors from the lift ink really draws the eye in. Beautiful.
The ink colors are gorgeous, Loll, and the makeshift ink pad worked well. I bought one of the ink lifting pads and wasn't happy with it. I think I'll try your method.
Vibrant AI combo, so very luminous and perfect for the bloom trio. What a clear image you accomplished with this technique. I love the black card stock for the sentiment, it adds to this beauty! xx
Beautiful, beautiful card Loll...LOVE the colors and definitely will have to give this a try!! :0)
What a lovely and vibrant Alcohol Ink background and pretty ghosted flowers, Loll! Love the ink color combo and how the inks blended! The black sentiment strip is striking and effective.

Your lift stamping is so pretty on the vibrant red and purple AI's Loll! love your design with the black panel sentiment behind the framing! xx
Those blooms are so dreamy and delicate, Loll ... such a lovely contrast with the bold, vibrant and full-of-depth background ... this is gorgeous! Hugs, Anita :)
Stunning background Loll. Have had a go at the lifting technique but so far no positive results but certainly going to keep trying. Love the result you got here. CASimply beautiful.
