For this month’s customer thank you cards I had a vision of what I wanted the cards to look like. I have been wanting to use the Birds & More dies and the Alcohol Blends technique behind the die cut. I was envisioning shades of blue and green for the background and otherwise an all white card.
I decided to use Bermuda Bay, Old Olive and Night of Navy Blends to create my background. I coloured on Vellum cardstock and then used 99% Isopropyl Alcohol to complete the technique.
I cut the circle and vine die from the card front panel, in Basic White, and then embossed with the new Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder. I also cut the bird in Basic White and the label comes from the Seasonal Label dies. I picked a simple sentiment from the Inspiring Thoughts stamp set and used Night of Navy ink to coordinate.
I love how it all turned out, almost exactly as I had envisioned (that hardly ever happens…lol!)

Beautiful card Jenna, what a terrific way to showcase the alcohol blend technique- lovely! 🙂
Beautiful card!!! Question: after coloring your velum, you misted with alcohol Then do you just let it dry and the colors just run together? Or is there another step?
Carol I actually used a water painter to apply the alcohol and that application makes the colours run together. Then I just let them dry which does not take very long.
Such a pretty design Jenna! Thank you for taking part in our Demonstrator Training Blog Hop this month.
Love that background. Makes a beautiful card.
