Hi everyone. Last month, my dear friend Frances, came over for a day of playing with alcohol inks. We made some lovely backgrounds on different types of substraits, using different techniques. I finally got around to using one of the backgrounds I made that day ... pearl alcohol inks smooshed on vellum. I folded the excess over the edge of a white card stock panel and taped it down. I added a simple white die-cut flower (Ascending - Penny Black), and a white heat embossed sentiment (Happy Messages - retired - Stampendous). A pretty card that was simple to make.

Sending this card to:
- Paper Players Challenge #699 - Clean & Simple from Joanne
Thanks for stopping by!
