Here is my card (labor of love and more detailed than my cards lately) for
Beate's WSC47 I really like how it turned out, though. I've always been fond of the Polished Stone technique and since discovering Ranger Alcohol inks are so versatile (and because I had a Michael's 40% off coupon, I decided to try them out) and you don't need alcohol as an added step it seemed like a good idea. I got the
Cabin Cupboard Kit with Caramel, Latte & Ginger (sounds yummy) and the
Alcohol Ink Applicator and had a little fun. Since I didn't get the metallic mixatives, I tried my SU! metallic gold refill and it worked just fine - why spend more if you may have something to substitute? I used all these on my glossy paper then decided to try using them on my Bride's shimmer flowers I got there for 25% off. They took to them well - I'm beginning to wonder why the heck I passed them up when I had a 40% off coupon - DUH. Anyway, the True Thyme piece on the bottom is stamped with
Canvas and
Spanish Script backgrounders by
Cornish Heritage Farms which I got a few weeks ago and hadn't used yet. The leaves in my focal image are Stampin' Up! Petal Prints (retired but I still love it) didn't have anywhere to put a sentiment so it's probably going to stay that way).

Wow this is so gorgeous, love the alcohol inks, the only thing I've ever used them on was lunch tins but maybe I should try this if I ever get any stamping done. Fabulous card, love those CHF backgrounders, the colors and marvelous and you rock!
