Alcohol for Seize the Birthday

 


Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday  and Shirley has chosen alcohol as the theme.


You can play along with our anything goes birthday option too, a great way to build up your stash of birthday cards!
Our guest Hilary and my team mates have some wonderful inspiration for you, hop over to the blog and check it out!


I chose to play with alcohol inks as I don't have many dies or stamps relating to alcohol!

I chose blues and greens (as I always need more masculine birthday cards) and added them to some yupo. A spritz of isopropyl alcohol for added texture and that was that.
 Ready to diecut and layer up.

I'm linking up to these challenges:



Allsorts, playing along with the anything goes option



Inkspirational, playing along without the optional twist of sunshine or rain.


Supplies:
Yupo paper; alcohol inks; isopropyl alcohol; Penny Black framed fern die; sentiment sticker.

Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

We ended up with similar choices, Cathy! I love the tones of blue and green of the background. The alcohol spritz really did the job - makes the texture so much more fun! Great card!
