Hi everyone! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!
I'm popping in to share a card I made using Bliss (40-667)cling stamp of the Dreaming Release by Penny Black.
Bliss (40-667) is a beautiful floral branch image in fine outlines. Coloring using alcohol ink was my first thought as I saw this stamp image.
I used Ranger alcohol ink cardstock as I wanted to heat emboss the image. To use as my reference I stamped the image in light Memento inks and applied alcohol inks. I used Sunshine Yellow, Sunset Orange, Citrus, Limeade, Botanical and Lettuce. I sprayed lots of rubbing alcohol on the alcohol ink cardstock panel and dripped the inks so that the alcohol diluted the ink colors. I blew the inks as I wanted. I added yellow orange colors where the flowers are and the green hues on the bottom right part where the leaves and stems would be placed. After the panel was dry I gold heat embossed the image.
I colored the image using micro applicators. I used the same colors like the background. As they are now concentrated on a small area without any alcohol, the colors are more vibrant. After the coloring was done, I splattered some gold Mixative on the panel and let it dry. I then cut the panel using Stitched Nested Frames (51-535).
The sentiment is from Destination Sentiments set (30-590). I gold heat embossed it on a strip of vellum with torn edges. I adhered both ends of the vellum strip on the back of the front panel and foam mounted the panel on a kraft cardbase. To finish off I added some iridescent sequins.
Hope you like my card!

so gorgeous, TaeEun!! must give your technique a try as I love love your card!!
Soft, simple, and beautiful!!! I love your card!!! Please explain what micro applicators are and where to find them?
This is so soft and pretty TaeEun and the AI moved perfectly to give quite a smooth finish, and love the sentiment on vellum which looks great over the top, and such a beautiful die cut rectangle design which works really well too. I wasn't sure whether the TH alcohol ink cardstock is his Yupo paper which I have just bought, or whether this is something different. I am hoping that the Yupo I have bought will let me heat emboss. x
Oh my stunning work! I love the softness of your card with the alcohol inks, I would love to see a video of this card using the alcohol inks. GORGEOUS!!!
This is gorgeous, TaeEun! I would never have thought to use this stamp with alcohol ink. I may have to try this. Thanks so much for all the details.
Wow! This is a totally sumptuous card. It looks so dreamy and I love the colors that you have chosen. The sentiment on vellum adds to the dreamy effect that you got.
This card is absolutely stunning.
Thank you for sharing
