Blended Alcohol Technique - June Club Demonstration

I just had to try the Blended Alcohol Technique

I love this technique!!

Here's the card I made to share with my club members

 

Isn't the background just cool?

I used three colors of our Alcohol Blend Pens

Pale Papaya

Fresh Freesia

Soft Succulent

Supplies you will need for this card

Soft Succulent Card Base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Basic White Card Stock 5 1/4" x 4" and 5" x  3 3/4"

Card Stock Vellum 5" x 3 3/4"

Plentiful Plants Dies (macramé hanger)

Bloom Where You're Planted Designer Series Paper - cut pot and leaves

Rubbing Alcohol - at least 91% alcohol

Step 1.  Using the lightest Blends color, here Pale Papaya, scribble on the vellum.  Next use the Fresh Freesia and scribble, then use the Soft Succulent and fill in all the empty spaces

Step 2.  Using the medium size Aqua Painter (or a thin bristle paint brush), dab around starting on the lightest color and then all over.

Step 3.  Once you have dabbed all over, you can use a straw and spread the ink until you get the desired look

Step 4.  You can also flick the rubbing alcohol around to get some varied colors

Once you have your desired look (everyone will be different), let the vellum dry.  It doesn't take long, but you can dry it quickly with a heat gun

Adhere the vellum to the Basic White 5" x 3 3/4".  Adhere this to the Basic White 5 1/4" x 4" and to the front of the card

Finish the card by adhering the plant pot, leaves and macramé hanger.  

Here's the card before I added the finishing touches

WARNING!!  The technique is VERY addicting

This is so pretty. Love this design idea. And I must say, I don't think I realized the blender pens were an alcohol mix pen. Something new for me to try.
