Stitched Leaves Alcohol Ink Background

Oct 19, 2021 | All Handmade Cards, Gallery, Stamping Techniques

Hi Stampers. I have a beautiful alcohol ink background technique for you today, using the Stampin’ Blends. In the video below, I did two alcohol ink backgrounds – on in pastel colors and this one in fall colors.

This card starts with a Thick Very Vanilla card base, 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. The alcohol ink background was created on a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of vellum. I scribbled on the vellum using Stampin’ Blends in various fall colors and then dabed 99% rubbing alcohol onto it using a small stiff paint brush.

The vellum was then attached to the card base using Stampin’ Seal. A strip of 3/8″ Gold Shimmer Ribbon was adhered over that, using Stampin’ Seal. The sentiment was stamped in Cajun Craze ink onto a piece of Very Vanilla CS that was die cut using the Tasteful Labels Dies.

Here is a close up of the leaves cut from the Stitched Leaves Dies. The bottom leaves are attached to the alcohol ink background using mini glue dots, the top leaf is attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Inside the card, I used Soft Succulent, Cinnamon Cider, Crushed Curry, Evening Evergreen and Cajun Craze ink to stamp the leaves (from the Love of Leaves stamp set) across the bottom.  The sentiment, also from the Love of Leaves stamp set, is stamped in the center in Cajun Craze ink.
