I'm obsessed with alcohol inks these days so the blues in this image here appealed to me.
Created an alcohol ink bg with blues, and as it was drying I splattered with white acrylic paint. Then I cut a piece of white cs for the bottom angled piece of the card front. I cut off the corresponding bottom section of the alcohol ink panel and die cut the sentiment from that left-over. Attached the alcohol ink panel to the card front and adhered snow flake die cuts, trimming off excess. Adhered the bottom white angled panel and a thin strip of sparkly glitter cs., followed by the die cut sentiment. Added clear sparkly dots to the centers of some of the snowflakes.

Another beauty, Maura. I like the angled design and that fun sentiment. Of course, I always love your alcohol ink cards.

I think this might be my favorite of the three that you entered in this weeks challenge. Those colors are gorgeous, and the snowflakes just pop against the background. And I really like how you used the leftover background to die cut the greeting. Simply stunning, thanks for playing along again over at The Mod Squad Challenge. I have really enjoyed your creations!!!

Gorgeous color palette for your alcohol smooshed bg! So pretty with the bold white snowflakes and lovely die-cut sentiment using same alcohol smooshed color scheme!
