Alcohol Ink Sympathy Card

Hello!  My card today is for the challenge at A Blog Named Hero.  

Because this is a sympathy card I wanted to use soft colors.  First I created the background using alcohol inks on Yupo paper.  Start with a generous puddle of Ranger Alcohol Ink Blending solution.  Next working quickly add the alcohol inks, give the colors time to spread and blend.  To help the inks move I used a puffer tool used for cleaning camera lenses.  While the ink is still a bit tacky I used a scrap of gold foil to add some shine.  The foil had been used and had a bit of pattern in it which worked well.

When the background was dry I used a Misti tool and archival ink to stamp the Hero Arts images from the set "Make a Fountain".  I use a stamp positioner because I find it a bit tricky to stamp well on Yupo Paper.  I ended up re-stamping the image a couple of times because I used the positioner it was an easy fix.  Next I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on velum.  To finish of the card I added a layer of Hero Arts cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope to see your work shared at A Blog Named Hero.
