A CARD USING A NEW TECHNIQUE

I know, I know...it's not Wednesday!  But, I did want to share a card that I made for my nephew Carlos' 50th birthday which we are celebrating at a family gathering today.

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!

    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?

  15. I love this background and the effect is wonderful. Tell me though does the smell from the surgical spirit still smell?

  16. Kay, 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.
