Two Cards With One Alcohol Pearl Ink Background

Hi Everyone,

Today I have 2 cards to share with you using the Alcohol Pearl Inks with Yupo paper and the Silver Shimmer Paper from the Simon Says Stamp May Kit. I made one background and turned it into 2 cards. Below you will see how. 

But before we get started I want to congratulate Denise Bryant. You have won the Double Stitched Rectangles Dieset. Please email me your address at samtina1111@gmail.com or message me on Instagram. 

Both cards are made similarly so if I don’t mention blue or fuschia color then the step applies to both. 

Step 1 - Trim White Cardstock to 8 1/2” x 5 1/2”, score at 4 1/4” and fold in half for a vertical side fold card (Blue), horizontal side fold card (Fuschia) (A2)

Step 2 - Apply Alcohol Pearl Inks to yupo paper. Apply Alcohol Blending Solution and move the paper. I used all 3 colors from the kit. Let dry completely.

Step 3 - Apply the Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive finely to the Alcohol Background created from Step 2 and let it dry a little before applying the Gold Flakes. Once completely dry use your fingertip to remove the excess. To remove the dust caused by the flakes remove with a micro fibre cloth. 

Step 4 - Trim the Alcohol Background in half. Blue card trim to 2” x 5 1/2”. Adhere to card on left side. Fuschia card trim to 2” x 1/2” and adhere to card in the center. 

Step 5 - Blue - Apply Alcohol Pearl Ink Tranquil to Silver Sparkle cardstock

Fuschia - Apply Alcohol Pearl Ink Intrigue to Silver Sparkle cardstock. Let dry. 

Step 6 - Blue - Diecut Stitched Scallop Border using Gold Foil Cardstock, adhere to card

Step 7 - Blue - Diecut Stitched Scallop Border using Tranquil Sparkle, adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. 

Fuschia - Diecut Stitched Scallop Border both sides and adhere to card using Foam Tape. 

Step 8 - Blue - Diecut Basic Greetings using Gold Foil Cardstock, adhere to card using Collage Medium
Fuschia - Diecut Happy Happy Happy using Gold Foil Cardstock. Use the die to draw an outline and create a shadow. Adhere together using Collage Medium and adhere to card.

Step 9 - Fuschia - Stamp Tiny Words using Versamark Ink on Black Cardstock. Sprinkle Gold Embossing Powder and heat set it with a heat tool. Trim and adhere to card using foam tape.
