Hello again,
Today I'm flitting by with my regular stint in the CAS world. I had an idea on Saturday so I went with it...just getting round to blogging it now. It's a red and orange colour theme at Less is More this week. I'd been playing around with Alcohol inks on my My Mojo Monthly projects and was liking the effects so I decided to give it a whirl on some cards.
I used Ranger Red Pepper and Butterscotch inks to colour a sheet of glossy card stock, using Blending Solution to soften the lines. I stamped Mr.Tim images in Black Stazon all over the sheet cutting out sections I liked to create an interesting (to me!) composition. I mounted them onto black card before setting them on a slightly textured cardstock.
I didn't want to add a sentiment but just enjoy the images so I went for some black lace to add a little drama and balance.
I always find it hard to make just the one, especially as I'd gotten into so much mess. This time I went for just the three squares and a lower placing of the images. I've already confessed to being a 'fine detail and close-up nutter' and I love using what I call snippets in all my work. I started off a few years back with just two ink pads and rubber stamp sets and am still in love!

Fabulous CAS card Sarah, love the alcohol ink backgrounds combined with the black lace, lovely combination. Hope you are back to 100% fitness now. Tracy x x
I love those bright inky squares Sarah, they look so good off set on the first card too. The black lace is certainly a fab trim to accompany the colours :)

Oh Sarah
How eye catching are these little beauties, it is lovely to see Alcohol inks once more on a card, they seem to have gone away lately, you have given me some inspiration to dig them out from my drawer, I just have to find the glossy card. I love how you have staggered the tiles too!
Smiles:)
Oh Sarah ... both cards are beautiful. My favorite is the second one. I may have to dig out my inks and try this. You have inspired me. :D

What a fabulous background you've created Sarah. I'm not a big fan of glossy card stock but you've encouraged me to have another play! Vx
