The card was made for my Mom & Dad`s 40th Wedding anniversary. The background was done using Alcohol Inks and the Smooshing Technique. I stamped Tres Chic in VersaMark and then embossed with Sterling Silver EP. Love was stamped with Blue Bayou on Velumn and then embossed with Clear EP; the edges were embossed with Iridescent Ice. The Damask Leaf was also stamped with Blue Bayou twice and embossed.
Alcohol Ink Smooshing can be done on glossy white paper or SU Whisper White. For smooshing you lay out the non-stick craft sheet, add a BIT of the mixative, add your alcohol ink (2-5), and add blending solution. Place your paper face down onto the mixture and twist and lift off. You can smoosh the same piece again or another piece by adding more Blending Solution.
