Challenge Title: Get Drunk!
Hostess: UnderstandBlue aka Lydia
Keyword: FF17UnderstandBlueA
Date: 10.08.2017

I don't know about you, but this hurricane season is driving me to DRINK! Hurricane season is just part of the territory in the fall if you live on the gulf or the East coast, and the hurricane party was definitely part of our lives every fall in the part of Texas I grew up in. But this year - OUCH.

So we are going to start THIS party with alcohol.

Your challenge is to create a project using any tutorial featuring alcohol from the tutorials section, including TODAY'S Falliday Fest tutorial. Please link to the tutorial you used in your project description.

Have fun - and CHEERS!

We do have a tutorial in the tutorials section for today's technique here.

I can't wait to see what you do!

Fantastic challenge Lydia. Hurricane season probably drives a lot of people to drink. Here is my card:

[Shoe Girl]

I am not sure why my card is showing up in the main gallery but not in your challenge gallery. Hmmmmm??

[annsforte3]

Oh yes, this is a fantastic challenge! I could not stop so made several!!

You are going to love the outcome of the alcohol ink on yupo paper. If you don't have yupo paper use your glossy paper you might have on hand.


Here are my cards:
Greeting Ornaments

Magic Baubles


A Pair of Deer Baubles


Marbled Poinsettias

[beadfreak22]

Yay! I found it! Here I go!!

[annsforte3]

Hey Katherine! Welcome!!

[MiamiKel4]

Fantastic challenge - and yes, agreed on the hurricanes and other disasters - cheers to alcohol on paper!

Your challenge was a timely one for me since I needed a thank you for a most enjoyable evening. Thanks.

THANK YOU

[Kemernow]

Ok I'm confused. There are two galleries for this, the tutorials and the challenge threads? I made my bauble. Do I post it here as well?

[annsforte3]

Hey Kandie, one card for each challenge. Which means you need to do another card for Lydia's challenge.

You may use the tutorial for this challenge but must do two separate cards.

[Kemernow]

But I not only broke my circle punch trying to cut a circle but I also broke the kitchen table!

Aha by Jove I think I've got it... after DH screws the table back together.

[annsforte3]

You know I have found one of the best investments I made was to buy circle die cuts!! So much easier then punches!!

[Jennifrann]

So fun! Here's mine:

[muscrat]

That's certainly going above and beyond! LOL!!!


You are welcome to use today's tutorial for my challenge and just a single card! We can move it to the tutorial gallery after the challenge ends

[Clownmom]

I used glossy white cardstock and the Polished Stone technique for my card. I, unfortunately, needed a sympathy card. Much of my ancestry is Irish, so the "Get Drunk" theme wasn't foreign to a sympathy card. Have you ever been to an Irish wake? Here's my card:

Prayers and Hugs

[MiamiKel4]

Oh Lois, I have and I am trying hard not to chuckle, LOL!

Here is mine, using YUPO paper and alcohol inks/blending solution - trying to make water

[sunstamper]

Here's my "Thanks for Everything" card for this challenge. Thanks!

[SmilynStef]

The Alcohol Ink technique was one of the very first techniques I fell in love with many years ago ... I had so much fun revisiting it today (this time with Yupo paper).

One from me, I am considering the hmm forgot its name the tissue paper alcohol ink one I read about but, I have a piece of tissue paper out that I used as a blotter on my mat making the ornament background earlier... so, I have to go read that one again sometime to see if that would make a difference or not. #cleandeskproblems :mrgreen:

here's one from me

Got it done!

Do you see what I see? by c-mouse at Splitcoaststampers

[luvtostampstampstamp]

What ink can you use to stamp on the background? I've used VersaMark and VersaFine and both are smudging when I handle it to put it on my card. :(. And they faded when I use the heat gun to set the ink that way.

[annsforte3]

Do you have any Stazon?

[annsforte3]

You also may want to try an archival ink! Ranger makes one!

[tessaduck]

Four cards using the tutorial. Here's the two for Lydia's challenge: FF17UnderstandBlueA at Christmas

[Forest Ranger]

Okay, I need to confess... I stink at this technique. EEK! But I'm seeing some amazing talent in those who have posted their photos already.

I'll get courageous and post mine... but I hope you won't laugh too hard.

[annsforte3]

No worries Jeanette!!

I had fun, fun, fun! Thanks so much Lydia for a great way to begin Falliday Fest. Love the title of your challenge. Get Drunk! I don't drink and I still managed to make a mess. Oh well...

[pvilbaum]

Here's my card and I did get a good whiff of the rubbing alcohol when I first opened it. Need more ventilation in here.

Here is my card for this challenge. I was able to make it work by scribbling my spectrum noirs on my craft sheet and adding copic blending solution.
