Angels Landing "For a special Friend" (Alcohol Inks and Opalite)!

Todays post is for Angels Landing.com, our challenge for today was NO WHITE!!!lol I love this!! Of course we always seem to use white, so this was nice!!! :) Thank you Judi!!! This is another notebook, and of course by now you know I love making them!!Right???? :) LOL
Also for today Im sharing another alcohol ink technique on this darling bear from Angels Landing!



First I picked my colors:

• Distress Ink (Fire Brick Red) (Peeled Paint) (Mustard Seed)
• Adirondack Alcohol Ink (Ginger) (Latte)
• Alcohol Solution
• Dabbing Tool, and replacement sheets
• Opalite (used Last)

As you can see my tile is a mess!!!LOL that is fine. I used the mustard seed, Ginger and latte upper top where they are running together.
The red you can see, and the LITTLE drop of green is in the middle. I added Alcohol solution to them all. That way the ink wont be soooo dark. I always test to my scrap paper to see what it will look like before it ever touches the image.

I dabb darker around the edges and lighter towards the face. On the bear I used all colors I believe except green. The greein I used for the stem of the flower.

The sponge brush works well too lift any excess ink off of the image! And to add the Opalite to the top of your image. I use both sides:)

Lastly I used the opalite on top of the bear!!

I wanted to take a picture of all products used!

Thank you for looking and have a wonderful day!!!

On my card I used this very pretty NewDigi called Pinecone nesties frame . I love working with this image! The pinecones were fun to color with the copics, and if you have been following my blog you will notice I have worked with some pinecone scrolls stamps withen the last 2 weeks, and they are Beautiful as well, and will work perfect with this image!

I wanted to layer some of the colors from the pinecone nestie frame, but wanted to keep it light. :) So I used some dp from the Basic Grey lemonade pack, and then some K&Company dp, and the dp I really wanted you to see (you cant) is this hollyberry dp that I had leftover, and I only have 3/4 of a piece left:( LOL

Pez-A-Doodle " Butterflies A-Swirl"

This is one of the cards I made for todays CAS Challenge on SCS!!! We were to follow the sketch provided and do a clean and simple card. I did 2 for todays challenge and this is one of them:)

On my card I used this pretty stamp called Butterflies A-Swirl from Pez-A-Doodle Designs!!! I love this stamp !!!! I also used my new tulip border from Spellbinders!!!!

On this card I stamped the image 2 times 1 time in memento black and another in craft black ink and then dipped in Ancient Gold embossing powder to give the butterflies a light gold and glitter look. I then cut them out and popped them off the image.

The stickpin is made by me. And I used 2 different sheer ribbons to tie.

Thank you for looking and have a wonderful day!!!
