I had so much fun making this card with my Alcohol Lift-It ink. If you aren't familiar with it, here is what I did.
First I used Yupo paper to put down my alcohol ink. Then, I stamped my image on it with Lift-It ink. I set it aside, got out my white cardstock and stamped the image from the ink left on the stamp. I am not showing the first piece today but you go back to it and rub or dab off with paper towel and it brings out your image. Hope you can understand my explanation.
There are so many wonderful things you can do with the Lift-It ink using your stamps and stencils. I have seen videos for using this ink on youtube, Tim Holtz, and Jennifer McGuire.

Wow! This is stunning, Brenda! I have been watching many captures of this technique, and I have to say this is a fantastic impression. I love the stamp you chose and the AI color collage you created made for that wonderful impression. Love this to pieces!

WOW, the result you received with this "lift-it" technique is truly AWESOME!!! I have seen the Lift-It inkpad online, but I really didn't know how it worked or what it could do. Your card is a great advertisement for this product IMHO!!! LOVE the combination and blend of colors you are able to achieve on this, and what a neat and artistic take on these beautiful coneflowers. I'm awestruck, quite literally!!!
I have admired your art for quite a while, and so when you left a comment on my cross-stitched birthday card, it truly meant a lot to me. That you would take the time and the trouble to look at my card and then to leave a comment really meant a great deal. I thank you so very much!!! I appreciate all that I learn from looking at your wonderful cards!!!
