I made another card using the paper I colored with AI inks earlier this week.
I die cut a bird and cut a strip from this paper.
As I wrote in yesterday's post, I dripped the AI inks on the Yupo paper, spritzed with a lot of blending solution, and pounced the blending solution and the gold ink with a cotton ball.
Donna's sketch for this weeks' CAS(E) this Sktech is my design inspiration.
Gold foil sheet was too bright for the sentiment, so I heat-embossed a piece of white CS in Gold Rich Pale, and die cut the sentiment. I liked that the shade of the gold matched that of the AI's gold.
I'm entering the card in the CAS Mix Up August Challenge, too.
Paper: Yupo (Ranger), Woodgrain White (Simon Says Stamp), Basic Black, Whisper White (Stampin' Up!)

DeleteWow...Love how your CAS alcohol ink card design turned out, Hideko. Your background is so beautiful for your die cut bird and curved border. Your die cut Enjoy really does match your gold metallic alcohol ink. TFS my friend and joining us again at CAS Mix Up! Hugs
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, as always, my friend! At first I was not sure how I can use the 2nd background, but I'm glad it turned out all right. More than anything, it was so fun experimenting! :-) Hideko
DeleteFantastic design Hideko!! The pouncing with blending solution made for a beautiful and softer palette for your die-cut bird and side curve. Love that you matched the golds with the AI's and embossed sentiment. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!

DeleteHideko! What a gorgeous take on the sketch--and your AI paper is so pretty--I'm inspired to try this!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donna! Your sketch was very popular this last week, wasn't it? (over 100 entries) It did inspire me too. Thank you! :-)
DeleteYou are so nailing this technique. The flow of the die cut and the flow of the bird look so beautiful together and love the shade of the gold...really works so well x
