Hi everyone. It's the start of July, which means it's time for a new CAS Mix Up Challenge. This month's challenge is being hosted by Coni (Which Craft?). She wants us to get inky with ...
One of the easiest way for me to use alchol inks is to smoosh. I used a large piece of aluminum foil to protect my work surface and then addes drops and squiggles of three colours of Alcohol Inks: Mermaid, Clover, Meadow. I smooshed a piece of vellum and then sprayed the vellum with rubbing alcohol to adds lots of drops. I repeated until I was happy with the look. Alcohol inks dry really quickly to I was able to assemble my card right away. I die-cut two of the Underwater Scene (Memory Box), sandwiching the vellum in-between. The scene was inlaid into my card front which was popped up for added dimension on the card base. Popping it up lets you see the dreamy look of the vellum. A simple sentiment (Scenic Sampler - Stampendous) was stamped with Pine Needles Distress Ink to finish.

Nicely done Loll!!!!!!
Thanks for the beautiful invitation, Loll! Your under-the-sea AIs are perfect - and really dreamy! I might just try your method - seems much more quiet than those blow dryers!

Your alcohol ink panel makes a really perfect underwater background and it looks so good behind the white of your die cuts, love it xx
If smooshing alcohol gives that wonderful a look I'm definitely going to try it, Loll. Just not until I'm home in my craft studio.
Wonderful alcohol ink background - it really does look like deep sea water. Perfect with the fishy die!
Gorgeous background and I love how you used that die. What great colors and a beautiful mix of them. This CAS card has quite an impact!
Your aquarium is mesmerizing and your alcohol inking with the drops makes it even more life like. Sandwiching the panel between the diecuts and popping it up adds to the dramatic effect. Such a cool, fun card.
What a cute die, and I like your method for the inky background. I'm not experienced with alcohol inks so it's interesting every time. I love everything about this card!
The perfect seashore die cut frame and images for your alcohol ink on vellum ocean background, Lolly. Who would have guessed alcohol ink on vellum could turn out such gorgeous backgrounds. This has been such a fun and creative technique hosted by Coni. Gorgeous cards by the CAS Design team:-) Love and Hugs...Nancy
A wonderful card Loll, your AI vellum is perfect for your fishy scene.... I loved how you put constructed the front panel... I had initially thought I could make a window of the card front..so we'll see how I tackle it. Robyn
I love this wonderful underwater die and how fabulous it looks with your smooched alcoholic sea colors on vellum, Lolly! It really does look dreamy! I don't think I've ever used AI on vellum, so this will be fun! Love, Dolly
This is awesome Loll, I haven't seen that frame before, it's really lovely. Love the inks too!
Oh my, I love the look of alcohol inks on vellum! Your under the sea card is fabulous Loll, loving that die. Makes for a fun birthday card for a beach loving person. Now I must give this smooshing of alcohol inks on foil as I've never tried that before. Hugs, Brenda
I love this soft look of water and the scene is beautiful. I can't wait to make my card for this challenge. The alcohol on vellum is gorgeous.
Love this underwater scene, Lolly! Beautiful colors in the background and I love the added dimension of popping the top up! Beautiful framing too! Awesome, my friend!
The AI's make a gorgeous under water background and I love that die. Amazing card Loll :)
What a pretty little seascape frame, and gorgeous AIs to highlight your beautiful scene.
What an amazing background you have created with the alcohol inks Loll - this is exquisite.
Stay safe
