The Best Things, Old Friends and Alcohol Pearls

Welcome OCS Fans;

Time has a way of sneaking up on us and before you know it another week,  month, or even years have gone or flown by.  The sentiments on both of today's cards sums up rather nicely our life's journey.

For today's cards, I used the stamps called The Best Things and Old Friend, both from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. Both images were stamped onto XPress It Blending Cardstock and coloured with Copic Markers.  The backgrounds for both cards were created using Alcohol Pearls, a new product.





Inside of Old Friend


While at Scrapfest last month, I picked up a new product for me called Alcohol Pearls.  Alcohol Pearls work in the same way as the regular alcohol inks, but with a difference.  The finish has a pearlescent sheen to it.

While pursuing the Internet for information on Alcohol Pearls, I came across a youtube video by Jennifer McGuire showing how to create a smooth background using a ruler, a strip of white felt and some alcohol pearls.

After adding a few drops of three different Alcohol Pearls to the felt strip edge and then adding some blending solution, Jennifer just moved the ruler along the Yupo paper.   The link to the video can be found here Alcohol Pearls. For the background below, I used the Envy, Villainous, and Enchanted Alcohol Pearls.

Background for The Best Things



Background for Old Friend

An Alcohol Ink applicator tool with felt was used to create the backgrounds below.  Again, the Envy, Villainous, Enchanted Alcohol Pearls were used. The background on the left was used for the Old Friend card.

Did someone say "Spring"?

Welcome OCS Fans;

It seems that Mother Nature can't make up her mind lately; as the weather has been on a bit of a roller coaster this past week -- one day it seems like Spring is here, then Winter comes back.  Did some say "Spring" has arrived.

Spring Follows!

Welcome OCS Fans;

It seems that winter doesn't want to go away for now.... but it will and spring will follow.  I can't wait for Spring to really arrive.  It is one of my favourite seasons as it signifies new beginnings -- grass starts to grow, leaves sprout on the trees, flowers start to bloom, and mother nature with baby bunnies,birds and other wildlife.  It is an uplifting time of the year for me.

For today's card, I have used the High Hopes Stamps called Garden Gate Background, Landing Birdie and Spring Follows.  The Garden Gate Background  and Landing Birdie were coloured with Copic Markers. I fuzzy cut the Landing Birdie (need to get a Brother & Scan).  My original intention was to put Birdie on a wobble, but even the mini wobble was too big.  I added a layer of glue dots to build it up a bit, so it gives the appearance that he is not flat against the gate.

Supplies used:
  • Stamps:  Garden Gate Background (U012), Landing Birdie (H185), Spring Follows (LL009) all from High Hopes Rubber Stamps
  • Ink:  Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black
  • Paper:  XPress It Blending Cardstock; DP - Spring Plaid (Lawn Fawn)
  • Copic Markers:  
    • E21 - Baby Skin Pink, E23 - Hazelnut, E25 - Caribe Cocoa, E27 - Africano, E29 - Burnt Umber, E30 - Bisque, E31 - Brick Beige, E40 - Brick white, E41 - Pearl White - E42 - Sand White
    • YG11 - Mignonette, YG12 - Chartreuse
    • BV000 - Iridescent Mauve, BV00 - Mauve Shadow, BV01 - Viola
    • Y17 - Golden Yellow, Y19 - Napoli Yellow, YR16 - Apricot
    • B000 - Pale Porcelain Blue, B00 - Frost Blue, B21 - Baby Blue, B23 - Phthalo Blue
    • N0- Neutral Gray No. 0, N2 - Neutral Gray No. 2
  • Your Next Stamps Gumdrops
  • Lawn Fawn Hemp
  • Zig Wink of Stella - Clear
