Challenge Swap #2

Hello crafty people!

I'm in an online group of friends and crafters

and we're doing a monthly challenge swap.

Today I'm showing you the card I did for the 2nd 

challenge.  It was my turn to choose the theme

and I chose "friendship"

I got to send my project to one of my closest friends,

so this was perfect for me.

I started by playing with some alcohol inks on

Yupo. I can't tell you which colors I used,

I just chose them and got to work playing.

This is how my first piece turned out and I loved

the color combination.

I made a couple more pieces with the same colors,

but blended them a little bit more.

I then used Alcohol Lift Ink to lift the Poppies image from

the ink on the Yupo.

I stamped what I picked up onto a piece of white card

stock, you'll see that later.

I loved the colors with this stamped image, 

so I started stamping on vellum and loved the results.

I cut a couple masks and stamped over this sheet of vellum.

I then laid it over the bright colored piece that

was my original creation.

I trimmed it down and adhered the vellum by 

folding it over the sides of the base piece,

using ATG tape on the back to hold it in place, then 

mounted it onto a white card stock base.

I use my computer to print the sentiment and adhered the

pieces to the front of the card.

I then took the pieces that I lifted the ink from and

played with them a little more, by adding some 

alcohol to them and this is what I got.

I love that you can just add more alcohol, and ink

if you want, and get more use out of the pieces.

I used the 2 pieces inside the card with the rest of the 

sentiment.

The flower in the bottom corner is the original

one that I stamped from lifting the ink.

I stamped it and fussy cut it, then added it

to the inside of the card.

The card was an odd size, so I made my own envelope

with my Envelope Punch Board.

I lifted another bit of ink and stamped the envelope with 

a matching flower.

I loved making this card and sending it to one of

my closest friends.

I think she loved receiving it too.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you learned something and/or have been

inspired in some way.

I hope to see you again soon.

Until then,
