Smooshing with Alcohol Inks

Hi everyone.   I'm sharing another alcohol inks card made a while ago ... this time on Photo Paper.  I used just two colours of alcohol inks, along with my air blower to create the background.  A simple white die-cut (Flower Florish - Penny Black), shaped with a stylus and mat, was added over top.  To finish this quick and easy card, the sentiment (retired) was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed in white.

This was a super fast and easy card to make! :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Two beautiful blue alcohol inks Loll and the white die cut floral and lovely sentiment contrast so well placed over the top. A great QCAS card. x

What a beautiful background, Lolly! I'm always partial to blue and purple together. Your flowers are so prettily shaped and show beautifully on this background!

Love the random nature of a smooshed background and the white die cut looks fab over the top. :)

This is a lovely background for that beauiful die cut. I haven't smooshed AI so I need to try that.

I love the simplicity of your background, Loll. I have a tendency to over ink with alcohol colors. I'm taking a lesson from you.

Love this idea, Loll as well as your colors. Also love how you blended them to showcase the white die cut. This is so well done!

Beautiful AI smooshing. I like how you can see the air blower effect, but not overmuch. Pretty colors as well as a really lovely die cut flower flourish!
