I am a huge Wendy Vecchi fan and love all her products. A new technique she shared at CHA 2014 uses her stamp pad reinkers, Tim Holtz' metalic mixative and plain old rubbing alcohol. You can see how this is done right here.
I appreciate your visit today, as well as your kind comments! Have a great Sunday.
Cheers!
the background and the writting font on this it s just AMAZING
ReplyDeleteI just watched Wendy do this technique, it has a wonderful, unexpected result. I might have to try this because I really like it. I like your card as well, Kay. Amazing background ! Enjoy your family gathering today !

Kay your background has turned out beautifully and with just the addition of the message makes for a striking card. Lovely to see you on a Sunday.

ReplyDeleteI use this technique almost exclusively for backgrounds! This card is lovely, Kay. Hope you are well! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely stunning, Kay! The colour palette is right up my street, and the inky effects from Wendy's technique are glorious... delicious quote too... who could ask for anything more?!

Kay your card is really lovely !
ReplyDeleteI clicked on the link to see how it was done.., what is rubbing alcohol ? What do we call it in the uk????
Thanks for this post, I would love to have a go as your card looks so good but I don't know what rubbing alcohol is?
Kay ... Hubby has just told me it's surgical spirt in uk !
ReplyDeleteKay this is wonderful, the stamping really pops from the page. Thanks for the link too :-) xx
ReplyDeletewow that is beautifil.EE
ReplyDeleteWow Kay, this is amazing! What a beautiful background it is, I really love it! I only do have a question, what kind of paper did you use ? xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Kay, I will have a look at the video tomorrow if I can from work lol! :) Your card is really GORGEOUS, I love alcohol inks too (should use more, thanks also for the reminder!) and the result of your try on this technique is very beautiful my friend!! Mwah!
ReplyDeleteFantastic effect. Love it. Great sentiment.
ReplyDeleteThat background is amazing and the sentiment is just perfect with it.
ReplyDeleteThis is heaven!
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful card Kay!
ReplyDeleteI love this background and the effect is wonderful. Tell me though does the smell from the surgical spirit still smell?
ReplyDeleteKay, I love this card that looks like polished marble with black lettering etched into it for all eternity. The creation radiates and exposes a love from deep within your soul. When our niece says, "That is so gorgeous, I think I will frame it." she means that she feels the love that went into creating it.
ReplyDeleteLOVE!! Going to head over there and check it out! Thanks Kay!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous card, Kay. Love that technique!
