ALCOHOL INK BACKGROUNDS WITH SWANS AND FROGS..

 Hello everyone,

I was doggie sitting today, three of them, big girls but gorgeous girls while their Mum & Dad had a huge slab of concrete put in for extra parking etc..so I was in charge, "No Doggie Prints Allowed"..

and, I managed quite a few projects which I will share when edited.. quick a simple, most of the stuff was pre cut and organised..

So onto todays project.....alcohol inks, love em, or hate em..I think they are very cool..

and I stuck, in the end, with Yuppo papers..  I was trying something else like the backing shiny sheets off my magnet sheets, but the ink just sat there and did nothing..



So two backgrounds, one with lots of green and one with more blue..


Die cut and embossed my beautiful swans from Mariannes Creatables, had them for years...


Inked the water lilies through the die..


Inked up my frogs and gave them white dots on their backs..
and coloured up the Dragonfly wings,, so, so pretty..


The swan was coloured through the die as well..


and deciding here who goes with what background..



Swany ended up with the blue, but with green dragonfly with sparkly gems down his body..


and here she is made into a thinking of you and hope feel better soon..


This dragonfly needed to go on the green with the,


water lilies and frogs...



The frogs are a bit hard to see but IRL they stand out a bit more..


And we have another card with the same gold embossed sentiments..


so there we go, two cards already for someone poorly..

Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll see you tomorrow..

Luv CHRISSYxx

Stunning backgrounds, Chrissy. I have a lot of alcohol backgrounds, but seldom succeed in making cards with them. Your cards are both beautiful.

The backgrounds are gorgeous Chrissy and make perfect settings for your beautiful die cuts, both stunning cards.
I think I would like paw prints in the concrete- a customised drive! But maybe not so good for the paws....

You are so clever and these are absolutely stunning. I never knew what to do with alcohol inks other than make a mess lol.

They are both just beautiful, you did a Fab job with those Alcohol Inked backgrounds. Great job with the details on everything, that dragonfly is colored wonderfully!
