CAS Mix Up July Challenge - hello

Hi everyone,

I'm here with the reminder post for this month's CAS Mix Up Challenge.

I used the Alcohol Ink Lift Pad for the launch card to remove alcohol ink, so this time I used 91% alcohol to do the job.

Here's my card:

Using Alcohol Ink Lift, Die-cutting, Stenciling, and Stamping

[How I made the card]

1. Dropped a few colors of alcohol ink on Yupo paper and blended them with blending solution, using an applicator.

2. Die-cut the Yupo paper.

3. Placed the stencil on the die-cut alcohol inked piece and stenciled/removed the ink using a 91% alcohol-soaked q-tip. (*1)

4. Die-cut a panel from white cardstock, and stenciled the paw marks with Distress Inks.

5. Inlaid the alcohol inked piece in the center of the front panel, and stamped the sentiment.

6. Die-cut "hello" from white cardstock 3 times, layered the die-cuts, and glued them onto the front panel.

7. Die-cut the card base and glued the front panel on to the card base.

(*1) Apply a VERY LITTLE amount of alcohol, otherwise, the alcohol seeps under the stencil and ruins the alcohol inked panel. Trust me on this ... 😓

The link is open until July 24th. Looking forward to seeing your card in the gallery!
