Hi there! Today I’m sharing a colorful project where I experimented with Alcohol Inks. I’ve been watching a bunch of YouTube videos and learning so much. I was so inspired to try this “wet in wet” technique. For this technique you generously wet your Yupo paper with Blending Solution first. Then I added three stripes of Alcohol Inks in the colors: Stream, Flamingo & Sunshine Yellow. You basically just tilt the panel around and let the inks blend and work their magic.
After the ink blended panel was completely dry I stamped it using the Grid Play Grid background cling stamp with Alcohol Lift Ink. I added the sweet Picture Book Panda and sentiment from Birthday Palooza to finish it off.
Here’s a video to show you my “wet in wet” alcohol ink experiment.
So much fun! Hope you enjoyed the tutorial! Thanks so much for stopping by!

STAMPtember® Blog Hop
September 2, 2017
Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Simon Says Stamp for a blog hop featuring their new STAMPtember® release.
I have a few project to share showcasing the Grid Play collection. I designed these sets and I’m absolutely giddy about the endless geometric patterns that you can create with them!
For my first card I stamped the Grid Play Grid background cling in Maliblue and then stamped the solid circle images with Maliblue, Scuba, High Dive and Deep Sea ink. I added a sentiment from the Live Well stamp set as well as a few Pixie Dust sequins.
My next card uses the Grid Play Stencil to create this colorful triangle pattern.
I blended Lemon Chiffon, Melon, Hollyhock & Hot Mama ink over a clear embossed Grid backround. I added a sentiment from Live Well and a few Nuvo Jewel drops to finish it off.
This last card features the Grid Play Alphas set.
First I stamped the Grid Background in Barely Beige. Then I stamped the colorful sentiment. I stitched a layer of acetate over the stamped panel and filled it with Iridescent Star confetti for a full card shaker.
Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards.
