Hello there...
Today's card is for the CAS Stencil Challenge
I don't have an alcohol lift re-inker, which seemed to give a good effect in the videos shared on the CAS stencil blog, but I did have some blending solution so I went with that using a little sponge or should I say a few little sponges... They have to be tossed away after using them
So here's the card
I used a variety of alcohol inks and even some silver, let it dry and then used a new stencil I got by Creative Exressions - This gives a better view of the silver, though I found that difficult to erase with the blending solution...
I never have a plan of what I come up with... I usually decide when I see the result of the BG and
this looked like a place fairies may be hiding. I have a die of a fairy sitting on a rather large moon... It was not quite the look I wanted, so I trimmed the die cut and now the fairy looks like she's hovering releasing her magical wishes
The sentiment is an old one from a set by PTI and the best I had that fit the scene
That's it for today... Thanks so much for your visit, have a lovely day

I really like this Ros. The silver adds a wonderful magical feel and you've made a great job of the Lift technique. Thanks for adding your creation to the gallery at CAS Stencil!
ReplyDeleteLovely card Ros...beautiful background and your fairy looks just right perched on the frame. xx
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning Ros and the blending solutions has lifted the ink beautifully and love the colours including the silver, and the silhouette fairy hovering over the top is an inspired choice. The stitched rectangles look so elegant and love the sentiment too. x

ReplyDeleteRos....I thought you added this to the CAS mix up challenge as well...if not please can you delete my last message and I will comment again!!!! x Sorry about that Ros. Such a beautiful card x.
ReplyDeleteGreat effect with the blending solution and the lift technique Ros. Such a magical scene and the fairy looks so content in her garden. Yes I find it impossible to lift the metallics, even with the lift pad. Such a beautiful and atmospheric card x

ReplyDeleteAmazing design Ros! Love the gorgeous colours of your AI background. I used blending solution to lift as well ... it works great. You have fabulous results with the beautiful stencil you've used. The silver looks beautiful ... but you are right, you can't lift it.
ReplyDeleteYour design is fabulous with that sweet silhouette fairy blowing wishes. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Stencil! xx

ReplyDeleteHugs and Happy Day!
Brilliant all the way around, Ros! I'm so tickled for you, getting such a sensational result with this technique! It makes me want to try again! And the final design you created with the placement of that silhouette fairy and choice of sediment is genius!! Hugs, Darnell

ReplyDeleteWow, what a gorgeous alcohol ink background, Ros! And the lifted leaves make the scene look like a deep forest. The fairy silhouette is so pretty and I love how you arranged the rhinestones.

Beautifully created and you make me want to get out my alcohol inks!! Adding the fairy was a perfect finish..lovely!!
ReplyDeleteSo magical! I can totally see that fairy and her pixie dust flying about that beautiful background!
ReplyDeleteAlcohol inks always give you the coolest effects and it's always a surprise what you'll get. A lovely little fairy bower I'd say.
ReplyDeleteLove the depth you achieved. Great card. Anyone would love to receive it!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the magical background you created Ros! The fairy looks so at home and I really like how you have the little gems looking as though she has tossed them in the air.
ReplyDeleteTake care.

It's a shame you have to toss the sponges after, but, OMGosh, how gorgeous this is! It looks good with most of the silver left in place, I think, and the fairy is perfect!
ReplyDeletePromise you'll never have a plan! What a wonderful creation!
