Hello bloggers,
Here's my take on this month's Altenew challenge using Nostalgic Florals again - can't get enough of this set!
I had a play with some alcohol inks on yupo, then stamped and embossed the blooms in black. I've tried this before on yupo - it's hard to avoid the yupo buckling in the heat so I think next time I'll have to stick the yupo on card stock first so it maintains its shape.
Because it buckled so much I had to cut the blooms out and then stick them on the card stock to make them more rigid. I used glue to stick them down but it seemed to react with the embossing which then started to rub off! So it was definitely a bit of a learning curve trying to make this one but I'm happy with how it turned out!
I'm also popping this one over to a new challenge (at least for me) called Colorful Options which has a pink theme for February. Thanks for the suggestion Makira!
Happy stamping!

Beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful image using alcohol inks. Love the embossed stamping over the color. Great idea to fussy cut and add to cardstock. I've have a little trouble of the same with Yupo. Thanks for sharing at Colorful Options February Challenge.
