Your Time to Soar


I was and am really smitten with the Card Concept inspiration picture.  I replicated the color by dotting 4 (5?) different alcohol inks (love these!) on the edge of an alcohol ink applicator and swiping it repeatedly across a piece of glossy cardstock.  It turned out so amazing.  You'll definitely see that on my cards in the future.  With this card I'd plop it in the clean and layered category; there's a graphic quality too.

The Details:  Avery Elle Look Up sentiment, Memento Tuxedo Black, Adirondack alcohol inks, Memory Box Dancing Butterflies, Isabella Butterfly and Rhone Butterfly Wings dies, Recollections 110 lb white cardstock, Simon Says stitched rectangle die

I'm entering this in The Card Concept #37 Butterfly Effect, Just Add Ink #267 Typography, Simon Says Wednesday Fav Product or Technique, Addicted to Stamps & More! #149 CAS

Edited:  How could I have forgotten Fusion?  Shame on me!
