Drifting Flowers + Alcohol Inks

Hello my friends, I'm sharing cards I made using Simon Says Stamp Drifting Flowers Embossing Folder on Tim Holtz/Ranger Alcohol Ink Pearl backgrounds, with Simon Says Stamp Hello and Fancy Love wafer dies, Reverse Best Friends and All The Love Sentiment Strips to create the sentiments.

I created the backgrounds on 5" x 7" sheets of White Yupo by sprinkling on Blending Solution, added drops of Tranquil, Radiant and Sublime Alcohol Ink Pearls and used the Distress Alcohol Ink Air Blower to move the inks around. Once the backgrounds were dry, I ran them through my die-cutting machine with Simon Says Stamp Drifting Flowers Embossing Folder. I used a Mini Round Blending Tool and Distress Sanding Disk to remove the colour from the raised embossed areas and wiped with a damp cloth to remove the dust.

I used a Sakura Black Glaze Pen to colour the centres of the small flowers.

I die-cut Simon Says Stamp Hello and Fancy Love dies 4 times from Distress Watercolor card, the shadow dies once from Vellum and layered to create dimensional sentiments.

I trimmed the panels to 4" x 5.1/4", fixed the die-cuts in place with Distress Collage Medium and added secondary sentiments trimmed from Simon Says Stamp Reverse All The Love and Reverse Best Friends Sentiment Strips, popped up on Simon Says Stamp 3D foam strips. I added a Trinity Stamps Coffee Bean Heart Sprinkle to the Fancy Love die-cut. 

To finish I matted the panels on to A2 panels of Distress Black HeavyStock and fixed to A2 top-folding white card blanks.

Have fun with whatever you're making.
