TH - Holly Cards SG "5"w x 7"h
each The technique starts out with Alcohol Inks and glossy white cardstock. On a melt art mat dribble some mixative (I used silver), then drizzle and drop a couple colors of alcohol inks (I used Red Chili & Bottle Green), then drizzle some Blending solution. Lay your cardstock glossy side down and twist a bit. Continue laying down in new puddles until card is coated. You can drizzle more blending solution if needed. Continue doing this with subsequent cardstock until you've used up all the alcohol inks. I got 2 nice 4.25 x 6.25" pieces. The #1 card below was the first card I did. Rubber stamped the holly sprig (The Peddler's Pack Stampworks) using Distress Weathered Wood stamp pad (yes, a dye ink stamp pad) and embossing with Emerald embossing powder. Then I stamped my sentiment (Quietfire Design from the New 2008 Xmas Rubber set) with black Staz On stamp pad. It lifted a bit of my silver and came out a pale shade of black so I went over the letters with a black Sharpie pen. Rounded the corners on each layer. Mounted to a Heritage red cardstock then onto a Heritage green cardstock. I wasn't that happy with the sentiment running into the holly sprig, so I thought I'd do another one and mask the sentiment area. Voila #2 was created. |

I'm very happy with the outcome of both cards. I like the TH technique.
