Hi everyone. Another card for January's Group of Seven technique - Alcohol Inks with Gilding Flakes.
Today I'm sharing hubby's Valentine's Day card. :)
I used an alcohol ink panel from my stash, adding thin lines of glue and then adding gilding flakes over top; letting it dry before brushing off the excess flakes. I cut the heart die (Streaming Heart - Simon Says Stamp) from black card stock and again from my alcohol ink panel and then pieced them together.
The heart is popped up with foam over a black card base to give it some dimension. To finish, the sentiment is heat embossed with Princess Gold embossing powder. I love the vibrancy of these alcohol ink colours! :)
... and to Double D Challenge - Heartfelt.
Thanks for stopping by!
