#TGIFC432: Alcohol Ink Blending with Irresistible Blooms

The color challenge at TGIF Challenges this week is amazing - I love these colors!

 

I decided to try a new-to-me technique for my card: alcohol ink blending. I watched a video by Patty Bennett to learn the ins and outs of how to do this, and it took me a few tries. Definitely use 91% alcohol or higher, or you will not get the results you're looking for! In the end, I was pretty happy with how my card turned out.

 

I paired my background with the Irresistible Blooms Bundle. Isn't that die cut swirl fun?

I let the paper do most of the work on this card. It's so pretty, isn't it? I love the pinks and yellows - it reminds me of a sunset.
