    I would LOVE to see how you do alcohol ink backgrounds, cuz mine do not come out looking near as pretty as yours!!! It doesn’t really matter, cuz the dies usually cover most unpleasantness, but your backgrounds are just smooth and gorgeous!! mine do not come out that way. please do a video sometime!! You’re my favorite!!

    I’ve recently become a bit addicted to alcohol inks and Yupo paper and using them as a background with these gorgeous dies really makes a card go from CAS to CAS with a POP! The Tree Picking die reminds me of when my kids lived home (we are now empty-nesters) and we’d go every year to pick/cut down our own trees from the farm my Dad grew up on. Your card actually brought (joyful) tears to my eyes which were purely sentimental. Thanks for sharing your beautiful cards but even more, for bringing joy, laughter and inspiration to all of us. ~BIG HUGS~

    These exceptional dies and your background colors make for some “merry and bright” cards which are awesome! and non-traditional….a nice surprise package.

    I love the background for the tree picking card – just rich enough to be a holiday card, and a beautiful way to set off the pop of white. Thanks!

    I super love the extremes & intensity you achieved with the alcohol inks! The blues vs the yellows: both are fantastic backgrounds for the dies & I am not sure which one I like best. They are both vying for first place! They are like watercolours times infinity!! Thank you for sharing!!!!!
