Hello crafters! I just had to play with the silver sparkle alcohol ink card and this is the result! I started with Citrus and Mermaid alcohol inks and randomly applied it to the silver sparkle card. I used a little bit of blending solution on it to create some nice mottled effects then let it dry well. Next I cut the Martha Background in white and glued it over the background. I used the Martha Edgers to cut four white sections that I added to the background with mounting foam. Next I cut a strip of vellum and attached it across the card, cutting the end into a fork. I used the Best Wishes sentiment cut out of silver card and black card. I shadowed it and glued it across the vellum. Using the Jasmine Flower die, I cut it out of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet on it. I glittered all the flower pieces before assembling, then added it to the left side of the vellum. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now. Sue x

Beautiful card Sue, love the colours xx Hazel
Absolutely stunning. I'm still coming to grips with all the newer dies its like one of those illusions to find where one starts and the next ends if you can understand what I'm trying to explain, but it's so pretty who wouldn't love everything about today's inspiration.

Lovely card Adding the sentiment onto vellum really helps it “pop” but you can still see the beautiful background underneath

The silver sparkle card provides a beautiful effect to the alcohol inks you chose, Great color combination, and a wonderful card. Hugs.
Your design today is stunning and eye catching. I tried the alcohol inks on a piece of silver sparkle card after seeing another one of your samples using this technique. I really like the look. I was surprised at how easily the inks stread out and mixed on the card and that the sparkle of the card showed through the alcohol inks.
By the way there is an invader above in the comment section: see Amelie.
Beautiful card. Love the background colours. I want this silver alcohol card!!!
Teresa
A beautiful card with a background that stands out! While the patterns might seem a bit busy, the alcohol created background and lovely colors seems to offset that, creating a card with a soothing effect. Love it!
