ALCOHOL INK LEAVES..

 Hello everyone,

I had a day of making alcohol ink backgrounds not long ago and leaves popped into my head..




I always over do it with colour and quite often loose the colours as they mingle and go brown..this nearly went but I stopped just in time ...  


When totally dry I die cut out the leaves....


Then added the vein detail with gold...


I also cut flowers with added gold centers...


Nice little collection to play with...


Played with my bird cage and as always I cut it out at least three times and glue together, makes it nice and thick and can take Distress inks really well...


Usee some scrap of black spot papers, edged with scraps of gold card..but used plain cream punched flowers with a jewel center...


Inked the edges of the flowers...


And made a smaller card 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 


Then made a slimline while I was in the mood..


Really really simple..splattered the card as I had already spilt something on it and covered it up with splatter...


And just added the leaves and flowers, and this time added some of the gold flowers I had made..



Added some leftover leaves to the envelope corners..


A simple sentiment and done...what a fun day that was..

Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you are all well and healthy and getting back to normal as much as possible...have an awesome weekend, mine is here already and I had a great Saturday..
See you tomorrow..

Luv CHRISSYxx

I absolutely love both these cards Chrissy. The alcohol colours you have used work so beautifully with the gold die cuts.
