Alcohol Inked Card with Freshly Made Sketch #501

Several weeks ago I played with Alcohol Inks and Yupo Paper and pulled out one of these pretty panels to use it with this week's Freshly Made Sketch #501.  I also tried out Alcohol Lift Off Ink with Cherished Blossoms stamp set (retired CTMH) and outlined the image with a thin Cricut Pen.  The greeting is from SU's Vertical Greetings.  The ink is Grape and the colored card stock is Close to my Heart's Color of the Year--Wild Berry.

Here is the fabulous Freshly Made Sketch that inspired my card layout:

Alcohol Inked Stars for Freshly Made Sketch #481

Several weeks ago I was playing with alcohol inks and made several panels.  I used a star thin cut die to cut the 9 elements for my card following Freshly Made Sketch #481. The striped background square was cut from acetate Animation Sheets.  The Cheers My Dears sentiment was stamped in Versamark Ink and Candy Apple Ink and embossed with Polysparkle Embossing Powder (retired CTMH product).

This is the alcohol inked panel that the stars were cut from:

Golf Themed Card with Atlantic Hearts Sketch #415

Here is the third card I've made with alcohol inked backgrounds.  I used one of the panels as the center focal panel for this gold themed card.  The background paper colors are Lagoon and Sapphire and the stamp sets are retired from Stampin' Up:  Clubhouse and Vertical Greetings.  The Stitched Rectangle Frame Thin Cut Dies and Dies from the Clubhouse set were also used with Silver Foil paper and Antique Gold Shimmer paper from Recollections.  A True Blue Shades Tri-Blend Marker was used to frame the greeting.

Although I've been "collecting" alcohol inks for quite awhile I finally took them out to play with the other evening.  Here is the first card I've made with one of these beautiful panels following the Tuesday Morning Sketch #598.  The background mats are Peacock and Lagoon card stocks and the greeting is from "Winged Masterpiece" and stamped in Versamark Ink, Lagoon ink and Polysparkle Tinsel embossing powder.

This was just one of the many alcohol inked card panels that I made a few days ago:
