You Are Amazing!

This is the first post on my new blog and I am very excited to get back into blogging again! My crafting style has changed entirely since I used to blog a couple of years back so I thought it appropriate to start a new blog ..

I enjoyed making this first card I am sharing so much! I have recently been using my alcohol inks again since their reappearance on the craft scene, inspired mainly by Jennifer McGuire! I watched a video where she made some amazing backgrounds so I thought I would crack them open again! I did struggle with them the first time round as I didn't really know what to do with them. Just needed a bit of guidance I guess!

The alcohol ink background was created on Ranger Yupo paper, using several different shades of green and turquoise Ranger Alcohol Inks plus a gold mixative and some blending solution. I cut the circle from the piece and immediately I thought it looked like an arty globe, and I was so inspired to make this card design.

I also used the Lawn Fawn Puffy Cloud Borders and Large Stitched Rectangle dies, along with the Memory Box Puffy Clouds dies.

The background paper is from a DoCrafts Little Meow paper pack that I had in my stash and was perfect for this design. The sunburst paper design was cut with the largest stitched rectangle die, which is A2 size, the same size as my card base.

The large Amazing word die is from Avery Elle, along with the coordinating stamp set. The sentiment was die cut from some gold glitter cardstock and I layered on top of two others cut from white cardstock to add dimension.

The sentiment on the inside is from the Altenew To The Moon stamp set, and goes perfectly with this card!

I was so pleased with the results and that alcohol ink globe couldn't have turned out better!

Thank you for stopping by and hope you will visit again soon!

Happy crafting!
