Using alcohol ink die-cuts

Hello friends, I have been playing and experimenting with my alcohol inks that I thought it might be fun to make them into cards. This is my first card:

To make this card, I started off by lightly inking up and adding splashes on a 110 pd Neenah Solar white cardstock using Lawn Fawn butter ink and Stamping Up Certainly Celery

Next, I diecut my vellum using MFT stitched dome die-namics. Then I used from my old supplies, Tim Holtz Fall Foliage dies to cut out my images from the alcohol inked panel I made using splendor, sublime and alchemy alcohol inks. Using Sunny Studios Elegant leaves sentiments, I heat embossed the words "Grateful for your Kindness" in Hero Arts Copper EP. Then, I arranged my diecuts, and added some kaisercraft gems and twine.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

CAS Game #159 - One Corner + optional twist Love Those Older Supplies. -Tim Holtz Fall Foliage

Timeout Challenges #155 - inspired by words

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting.

Cruising by for a birthday wish!

Hello crafty friends. I'm on a roll with posting more crafty news on my blog these days. I would like to share my birthday card using Sunny Studios Cruising critters stamp. I love this image as it is so cute which I coloured with my copic markers. For the background, I used distress inks and added a road die and a cloud stencil (MFT) to finish the scene. I added balloons from MFT Birth-Yay I added a surprise birthday cake from the same stamp set using the Lawn Fawn Let's toast pull tab add on to show the hidden surprise. I finished the scene by adding a MFT banner diecut and stamped the word birthday. I added black gel roll glaze to the eyes to add dimension. Here is my finished card.

I am entering my card to the current  AAA birthday card challenge -

Made in Minutes - Challenge #146

Hello fellow crafters. Just stopping by to share a card I made using the adorable sunny studios stamp Tropical Paradise. This stamp was what I had in mind as soon as I saw the "optional twist summer."
I coloured my images with my Arteza brush markers using the wet on wet technique. Here is my card.

For the background splatters, I used the Just Because stamp set from Concord and 9th. I love the idea of a cool drink to quench our summer thirst. Here is the sketch for this challenge.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting.

Critters Camp Out

Hello again. I'm on a roll this week with making cards, lol. For this card, I am using the current sketch challenge #327 for CAS Colours and Sketches.

Here is the sketch

I started off stamping my images in memento black ink onto Neenah 110 cardstock. I chose stinkin cute images from Sunny Studios Critter Campout. Then, I coloured my images using copic markers. Afterwards, I masked my images and started ink blending using distress ink mustard seed.

Then, I inked again with shabby shutters and made lawn distress ink for the grass.

Next, for the fire glow, I inked using spiced marmalade and fired brick.

And for the sky, I used seedless preserves and an SU Night of navy.

Afterwards, I removed my masking. and adhered my sentiment by heat embossing Ranger superfine white embossing powder. 

I am also entering this card for the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Anything Goes

Thank you for dropping by. 

Love and crafty hugs,

Clarissa
