I’m so glad that this card was chosen as Top Pick by The Rainbow Challenge again. It’s indeed an honor. Thanks, DTs. 


Hi Artsy Friend,

It’s time to play along with Happy Little Stampers Stencil Challenge again. The July Challenge Theme is once again Anything Goes. For Challenge Rules and other DT’s inspirations, please check out the Challenge Blog. Please join us for the fun. I can’t wait to see what you have come up with.      

This month I challenged myself to play with Alcohol Ink Lift with Stencil on Vellum. I’ve wanted to try this technique for a long time and I’m glad I finally made it. The result is not bad. Hope my card is inspirational to you. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day ahead.

Card details

1. Apply several Alcohol Inks on vellum. 

2. Use felt applicator to apply Alcohol Lift Ink Reinker, then dab over the stencil (Simon Says Stamp) to remove some of the alcohol inks.             

3. Die cut a heart (Altenew) from the alcohol ink lift vellum.

4. Die cut the Daisy Square (Simon Says Stamp) from a white scrap, and cut out the daisy part.

5. Adhere the daisy on the alcohol ink lift heart.

6. Apply Nuvo Glimmer Paste over Warp Speed Stencil (Altenew) on a white card panel.

7. Stamp sentiment (Simon Says Stamp) in black on a white scrap, mount to a black panel.

8. Assemble the heart and sentiment on card panel as shown.

I’d like to enter my card to the following challenges.

  11. Lots of depth and texture you've created on your alcohol inked vellum. Using a stencil to achieve that lovely floral pattern was very clever, too. The paste rays add just enough sparkle to call attention to the heart's flower diecut. I particularly love that framed sentiment. It's a great addition to CAS Mix Up's gallery.
