The other day I showed you a card with a background made by adding 91% Alcohol to some scribbles of Stampin' Blends on Vellum (see it here). Well, when I was playing with that technique I made a few other pieces. So here's another card using that same technique:
Yeah, it's a stunner!
For this background I took Melon Mambo dark blends, Magenta Madness light and dark, and Pumpkin Pie dark blends and scribbled on my Vellum. Then I spritzed with the alcohol and watched the magic happen.
Once the vellum was dry, I spread a tiny line of Multipurpose Liquid Glue in spots on the paper, and then smashed it into my Gilded Leafing flakes. As I sponged away the flakes, the glue spread a little, and left me with rivers of gold on the paper. So pretty!
And with all that gold, the greeting was heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder for a shiny look.
I inked up the smaller rose and the leaves in the Artistically Inked set and stamped two, cutting them out with the Artistic dies. I also cut one of the leaf stems using Gold Foil.
In keeping with the gold theme, I mounted the main panel on a piece of Gold Foil, cut with the Stitched Rectangle dies, and adhered it all to some Polished Pink on a Thick Basic White base.
