Alcohol Inks with LDRS Creative

Hi friends. Can you believe we are just two weeks away from the big holiday? If you are like me, you are running behind on all the things. I am still working on a few Christmas cards to mail out and have one today to share with you featuring all die cuts along with a fun alcohol inked background.

For my card today, I am using the Christmas word die and the Grace ornament die from LDRS Creative.

I love that the ornament die comes with two pieces, one for the solid portion of the ornament and then one with the decorative inside portion.

I started my card by creating my background using some Yupo paper and alcohol inks.  I wanted to go with a somewhat non-traditional color scheme so I chose greens and blues.

I then die cut the Grace Ornament die twice and adhered the detail portion to the solid background portion of the die. I adhered one of them directly to my card panel with liquid glue and used some thin foam glue dots to give the other one a bit of lift.

TIP:  Use a black marker to draw ornament hangers coming down from the top of the card.

It was now time to get started on my sentiment. I chose the gorgeous Christmas word die. I die cut it twice, once from black card stock to give a bit of a shadow look and once from a green glitter piece of card stock. I adhered this to my card and my card is now complete.

Here's a closeup of the shine on my ornaments courtesy of some gorgeous glitter paper. 

And here's a final look at my card. I hope you've been inspired. Crafty hugs!
