Courage Card with Alcohol Background

I told you…Once you get started with Alcohol Ink Backgrounds, you won’t be able to stop yourself!  (You can see the Tutorial HERE.)  I love them because they are both simple and complex.  It’s very hard to cover them up with anything!  Want Exclusive Samples to your “In” box?  Click HERE to join my Mailing List.

• The base card is Always Artichoke Cardstock 5-1/2″ x 7″ – scored and folded at 3-1/2″.
• A 3-1/4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Ranger Specialty Stamping Paper was used as a base for the Alcohol Ink Background Technique  using Archival Inks in Cornflower Blue, Orange Blossom and Fern Green.
• A strip of Brushed Bronze Craft Metal 1-1/2″ x 3-1/4″ was embossed using a TH Texture Fade Embossing Folder and the Big Shot.
• Crumb Cake Seam Binding was used to create a double bow. (See the “How to Create a Double Bow using your Fingers Technique.”)
• Three small strips were cut from another piece of Alcohol Ink Background Paper and the ends were banner cut using a 1″ Square Punch.  Two were adhered direction to the card front and the third was attached with a Stampin’ Dimensional.

• The Courage Stamp from Wendy Vecchi’s Heirloom Art Stamp Set was stamped onto the card front using Archival Black Ink.
