First of all, here's a peek at the first card done for Scrappy-Go-Lucky, click on the link to see the full card on the blog - I had fun using the Cri Kit pens, they are so easy to use, I used the gel and metallic ones on this card.
So here's a finished alcohol ink card. Because the flowers were so flamboyant, I kept the card quite simple, used a kraft card base, inking around the edges with colorbox bronze ink. The border punch is by E K Success, and the green ribbon leaf ribbon was a gift. The sentiment is Stampin Up.
Here's the finished flower as demonstrated on the video below........
Here you go -

Great video Enfys ... I love this technique, it may be a bit messy, but Ohhh, what a stunning look ... and what a gorgeous card that is with those dynamic flowers!
ReplyDeleteI loved your Scrappy-Go-Lucky card too ... I didn't immediately see what image that was starring at me in your little "teaser glimpse", I thought that perhaps it was a ghost. =) Now that I've seen the card, my "ah-ha" moment has hit me and I can identify the image clearly!
Great job on the cards ... and the video too!
Hugz,

video!

Your stories always make me laugh & after I got done chuckling at your password troubles (because I've done the same thing), I went to Scrappy-Go-Lucky to see the whole card (I couldn't figure out why you were doing a ghost card this time of year!)
ReplyDeleteIt's a really cute panda, but I couldn't for the life of me get in to leave a comment. I tried every combination of emails I have & passwords I use. Turns out, it's just a user name, not an email, so I didn't need the @***.com part! You must've jinxed me. Thanks for the laughs!
All I have to say is....WOW!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are really pretty flowers.
I get your frustration about your password. I always keep a little notebook handy,into which I enter all my user names and passwords. It stays by the computer, so when I can't remember (swiss cheese brain here) I just look it up. I know THEY say you shouldn't do that, but THEY also say you shouldn't use the same thing for all names or passwords. I can't figure out how THEY expect us to remember all those different passwords? And who are THEY anyway?
Thanks for the video, it was lovely.
Fab tut Enfys, thanks for sharing that I really enjoyed it and learnt so much! Ive always been a bit scared of getting mucky but you showed that it can also be controlled!
ReplyDeleteOff to find some plumbers tape now!!

ReplyDeleteEnfys~what a sweet looking flower! Love your tutorial!
ReplyDeleteHi En. I've made these alcohol flowers before, they're fab aren't they. It also works really well making them on acetate although you need to make sure you use them on white card to show the ink off.
ReplyDeleteI've just read your sinkhole story to my Hubby and he's crying with laughter, you really should write a book, you'd make a fortune!!
Hope the sun is shining in Florida today!

What a stunning look from something so simple. I saw someone else make something yesterday with plumbers tape and sanding and that was the first time I had ever seen it used in craft work. I will definitely be raiding my husbands supplies now and he thought his shed was safe lol.

If you're interested in improving your health, it [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt discount shoes[/URL][/B] can be beneficial to start from the ground up. Let's talk about your footwear. How does [B]mbt sneakers[/B] yours rank? Some so-called fitness shoes merely look great, but don't really provide [B]mbt shoes cheap[/B] any actual health benefits. Other shoes actually make a [U]mbt shoes review[/U] legitimate difference. If you want footwear that truly helps, MBT shoes are the first [U][B]mbt shoes clearance[/U][/B] step toward a healthier you.
ReplyDeleteWhat does MBT stand for? Good question. The [B]mbt shoes sale[/B] answer: Masai Barefoot Technology. They're designed to [B]MBT shoes[/B] simulate walking barefoot, which helped our ancestors to walk [U]mbt shoes cheap[/U] healthier than we do. Modern humans cram their feet into all kinds [U][B]MBT shoes[/U][/B] of crazy, uncomfortable shoes, and we walk on [U][B]mbt shoes review[/U][/B] unnatural surfaces. MBT returns our feet to their natural, healthier [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] environment.
MBT shoes actually trigger and enforce the [B]mbt shoes sale[/B] tiny muscles that cause our bodies to naturally absorb [U]MBT[/U] shock. The patented construction of the MBT soles features a [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] unique sensor that causes a simulation of being on uneven [U]MBT shoes[/U] ground. It causes an instability that causes the body [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt shoes cheap[/URL][/B] to react with slight movements to compensate for the instability. Thus, a "rolling" process [B]MBT shoes[/B] begins. This active, natural balancing act causes our bodies to automatically [U][B]mbt discount shoes[/U][/B] exercise. As a result, muscles are strengthened and toned and posture is improved. Also, we experience less joint stress and back [U]MBT shoes[/U] pain. Clearly, it's quite a workout, and the benefits are vast.
The shoes do not resemble any [B]MBT shoes[/B] other footwear on the market today. Many people are [U]mbt shoes review[/U] surprised when they discover that these "health shoes" are actually [U][B]mbt shoes cheap[/U][/B] esthetically pleasing, as well. [U]footwear etc[/U] The brand offers trendy [U][B]mbt shoes cheap[/U][/B] mary janes, chukka boots, trainers, clogs, sandals, oxfords, slides, fashion boots, mules and more.
MBT's simple-yet-effective rolling [U][B]mbt discount shoes[/U][/B] action with each step is the strategy behind their [B]mbt shoes best prices[/B] brilliance. Not long after you begin wearing these shoes and utilizing the rolling technique, you notice [B]mbt shoes review[/B] a difference. Your knees and back feel better. Neck [B]mbt shoes clearance[/B] and shoulder tension begin to melt away. Your joints are less stressed. Your thighs and [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] buttocks appear more toned. Perhaps you [U][B]mbt sneakers[/U][/B] even notice a difference in your waistline. Yes, it's the shoes. When you [U][B]mbt sneakers[/U][/B] wear them, you actually burn more calories when simply standing than you do when [B]mbt sneakers[/B] wearing standard shoes. Scientific research proves it.
Now you see why keeping a natural balance is crucial toward maintaining [B]MBT[/B] a healthier you. If you're making your health a priority, then doesn't it make [U][B]mbt sneakers[/U][/B] sense to choose footwear that not only increases your fitness level, but also [B]mbt walking shoes[/B] supports improved overall health? Now that you understand what all the [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] hype is about, perhaps it's time to try the MBT experience. Your body will thank [B]mbt sandals[/B] you.
