Bold Birthday

Hi and welcome!  Today's card uses the new sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and this week our hostess is the lovely Cecile Ribon.  I pulled out a previously created alcohol ink panel which made short work of my card:



Don't you love that rainbow of boldness?  I can't remember the colors, but I created it at the same time I made this card, so the colors probably come from that list.  I also added some gold foil before it was completely dry.  A thin strip of black separated the alcohol-inked panel from the card base.  The die-cut sentiment is from Birch Press Designs and stacked three high and finished with some clear sparkle pen.  Here are another couple of photos from different angles.








Thanks for visiting!  The DT have created some gorgeous cards with Cecile's sketch, so I hope you'll check them out.

Products used:

Inks:  Alcohol Inks (sorry, can't remember colors)
Cardstock:  White, Black, Yupo, gold foil
Dies:  Just Because Sugar Script (Birch Press Designs)
Accessories:  Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Pen

Cheers
Karren

    I’ve just found your blog and love what I see! The card that brought me to you is on a blog dated June 29, 2016, Freshly Made Sketches. I would love to know who makes the alphabet dies you used on your cute mouse thank you card. I love the shapes of the letters. I’ve really enjoyed browsing your blog!

    Hi Cheryl - thanks for your sweet comments. The die I used for the "thanks" word on the 2016 card is from Reverse Confetti and called "Fancy Words". Hope this helps.
