Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Barbara has chosen rainbow colours as the theme.
You can always play along with the anything goes option too, as long as it's a birthday card.
Our party guest and the design team have some wonderful cards to inspire you, so I hope you get the chance to join in the fun!
I recently bought some black alcohol ink cardstock and wanted to try out alcohol pearls on it.
I need more practice as I'm used to using yupo which lets the inks slide around a lot more!
The colours didn't photograph very well, looks better IRL so here's a close up,
and here is the black cardstock I diecut the flowers from. That's the best photo lol!
I inlaid one flower to reduce bulk and stamped a sentiment.
I'm linking up to these challenges:
CAS on Friday with a nature theme.
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday, midsummer blues (I've used pearl blue alcohol ink).
Supplies:
Ranger pearl alcohol inks and blending solution; Memory Box chloe stem die; Paper Smooches sentiment stamp; versafine clair ink & clear ep.
Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x
Beautiful Cathy, and I love the look of the pearl AIs on the black yupo, and great to have it mounted on a black card and with a black heat embossed sentiment which finishes it perfectly. x
ReplyDeleteFabulous!
ReplyDeleteThis is such an elegant way to use rainbow colours! Love the look. In related news, I really need to find me some black alcohol ink cardstock! :D
ReplyDeleteThe alcohol inked black panel looks gorgeous! And so are the die cut pieces from it! A very chic CAS birthday card!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! I love your approach to this challenge. I never would have thought of it, but it is amazing. So glad that we have innovative designers on this team.
ReplyDeleteOhhh I haven't tried black yuppo yet and those pearls look spectacular with it. Stunning effect and one beautiful card x.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a clever way to incorporate out topping Cathy! Love that you added the closeup shot so we can appreciate how it shimmers in real life! Great job and hope all is well with you!
ReplyDeleteCAS and so delicious, Cathy ... those pearly colours glow so beautifully against the black yupo ... wow! Hugs, Anita :)

ReplyDeleteHi Cathy, I hope you are enjoying your break! This card came out excellent and you can really see the colors and shimmer in your close up. You have intrigued me with this technique. Now I think I need some alcohol pearls. LOL HUGS!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that looking just awesome!! The pearl colors stand out so well against the black - gorgeous pearly shine and the rainbowy goodness - nothing can beat that combination! Love your card, Cathy!
ReplyDeleteAll three of these turned out awesome but I do like that inlaid one with the white against a pretty background
