Tim Holtz Flower Field w/ Alcohol Pearl Backgrounds!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s start by creating some beautiful backgrounds using the Tim Holtz Alcohol Pearl Inks! We will be using the Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink Dura Bright in Black Opaque Matte for our inking surface. This synthetic paper will allow the inks, mixatives and blending solution to blend nicely and easily. In the video I will talk more about the different effects and looks that you can get using these alcohol pearl inks.

We will then add a bit of iCraft Deco Foil in gold and silver to these backgrounds. This will also give some increased sparkle and elegance to the backgrounds.

Next we can die cut the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits Flower Field Die in some heavyweight black cardstock. And then we will grab a sentiment from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits Bold Text #1 Die Set which will say “Make a Wish”. We will die cut the sentiment out of this black cardstock and then we will place the letters back into place using the Tim Holtz idea-ology Kraft-stock Metallic Classics in gold and silver. I’ll also show you a few little tricks for easily placing these letters back into place!

Let’s add a beautiful butterfly to each of our cards using the Tim Holtz idea-ology Botanical Layers!

Finally, let’s add a few sparkly gems for added interest and dimension. We will be using the Pinkfresh Studio Metallic Pearls in Sparkling Champagne and the Buttons Galore and More Jewel Embellishments in Silver!

Alcohol Pearl Ink Blending – Spring Floral Slimline Card!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be creating a pretty slimline card using the Scrapbook.com Spring Floral Die! This slimline die is just gorgeous! It cuts out flowers, vines, and butterflies which can be used to create a second card. So it’s sort of a two for one die!

We will die cut this from some white 100lb cardstock and for the background we will be using some beautiful Tim Holtz Alcohol Pearl Inks!

Let’s start our background using some Ranger Alcohol Yupo Paper. This will allow our inks to blend more easily. We will use a combination of pretty colors.

First, we will add some alcohol blending solution to the Yupo paper and then we can add several drops of inks in a variety of colors. Now we can move this ink around using the Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink – Air Blower. This is very easy to use … just squeeze and it will easily move the ink around the paper. I’ll show you exactly how to do this in today’s video!

We can cut down the slimline panel and add our alcohol ink background and then add a layer of aqua colored cardstock. This will make the colors of the background pop out a bit more!

Now let’s layer this onto a slimline card in white 100lb cardstock.

Next we can add a “hello” sentiment using the Scrapbook.com Cards for Kindness Stamp Set. For the sentiment we will stamp it with Versamark Watermark Ink and emboss it with some white embossing powder onto some vellum paper.

Let’s use one of the white butterflies that was cut out of the die and add a second one with some vellum paper and glue these two together for added dimension.

Finally, we can add a light blue heart shaped gem from the Dress My Craft Heart Droplet Collection in Pastel Blue in the center of the butterfly.
