Hello!
It's another dull and dreary day here, but as promised I have some cards to share.
I covered one piece of 5x7 Yupo with alcohol inks (which made 7 cards) and used a holly stamp to apply the lift which I then stamped onto white card. Today's cards are the ones I did with off cuts and the lifted ink
Card 1
I added a die cut sentiment and some stickles... Yep, I still have some of those and they still work!
Card 2
Card 3 used a scrap of AI from a previous card hence the different colour
You can tell I love using the AI's and nothing is wasted... You will probably get sick of seeing them on my blog Lol! The thing is when it comes to Christmas cards I want something that makes up quite quickly and something I really enjoy doing. Sometimes the lift doesn't always transfer too well and those little scraps of yupo or a die cut sentiment cover any missing parts.
I'll share the others next time
Have a lovely day

All the cards are beautiful, you are so very creative, I absolutely LOVE the colors!! Sorry I have been missing in action for awhile, but with the holidays approaching I am over my head with things that need to be done and the last two days I spent getting 60 ornaments kits made for the special needs groups at our Elks. We made them yesterday and I was exhausted!! Hoping all is well with you...take care my friend!!
I have never tried this technique, Ros but you certainly make me want to try with this gorgeous collection of cards. I love that they are relatively flat for posting too which is really important when you have a lot to post. It's very wet and dull here too but maybe "the sun will come out tomorrow" as the song says!

I am definitely NOT sick of seeing these AI cards Ros...they are STUNNING and I can't wait to see more!! :0)
They're beautiful Ros. I still haven't played much with my lift ink. :-( I have plenty of Stickles...that still work. LOL
wonderful way of making a few cards Ros and I love your AI strips :)
Stunning cards Ros..very classy and professional looking. I too have loads of stickles...that still work! Grey miserable, wet, chilly and dark here today. Hope it's brighter tomorrow. xx
It's just amazing to me what you can do with a little scrap of AI background! The lift technique produces such gorgeous results. These are WOW cards, Ros! They didn't quit making Stickles did they? I use them a lot. So easy and tidy. Gee, I'll have to look them up. My Stickles are a staple!
Great results with the AI's Ros and such lovely colours, and then the lifted ink stamping in the background has worked beautifully two, and love the strips of AI Yupo over the top with your gold glitter embossed die cut sentiments, and I love the font and design of its...so pretty! x
Ros, I never tire of seeing your AI backgrounds! I have yet to try this technique. Maybe after the holiday rush I will have sometime to try this. I love all your cards, they are stunning and all have your special touch! It was nice here in SW Ontario today, tomorrow is suppose to be in the low 50's - very surprising, but I'll take it. TFS!
Ros these are fabulous... just keep them coming!! Perhaps one day I'll be moved to use that lift ink I HAD to have, but have yet to use!!
LOve the AI colors you've used, and who knew you could stamp the what was lifted?? You did, of course! I love the die cut sentiment, Ros - just stunning!

More beautiful creations that are so gorgeous, Ros! You achieved wonderful results with the AI inks in lovely color! I, too, have lots of stickles. I love getting them out this time of year for the winter cards! Great designs and cards...well done...Ros!!
Wow, Ros, these are awesome! Great job with the lift Love the sparkly die cut sentiments but the alcohol ink piece and the holly take center stage!
OMG..Loved your alcohol ink background pieces with the stamped alcohol ink lift images. All 3 of your CAS card designs are stunning and very original Christmas designs. TFS Hugs..Nancy
You find me staring in awe - breathtaking cards! And yet another technique I've never tried... I guess I need to take a year off to catch up!
All three cards are fantastic, Ros! Your AI backgrounds (and ink lifted ones) are always so beautiful and so are these panels.
I love your designs – the holly image on the AI panels continues over the ink lifted panels.
The shine from the gold die-cut sentiment and some stickles is so pretty! Looking forward to seeing many more!

These are beyond fabulous, Ros! I'll never get tired of seeing your AI cards & eventually maybe I'll make one!
I LOVE how you used every little bit and made such gems! LOVE the turquoise glitter drops, too!
First, your AI panel is gorgeous ... love the colours, Ros! Amazing that you were able to make 7 cards. Way to go!! And I love that you've included a piece of the original AI panel with the lifted version. So creative and beautiful! Perfect die-cut sentiments that are so pretty cut from glitter paper. xx
Reading the comments, I haven’t used my lift ink either. But just wanted to remind you of what I remembered… When stamping the ink you have lifted, you need to stamp it onto a porous surface.
