Though this looks blue the background is actually a mix of eggplant & denim alcohol inks on glossy card stock.
Using MFT Stamps images from “Spooky Sweets” and Tim Holtz Alcohol Lift-Ink I pulled the color from the main piece and applied it to a piece of white linen card stock.
On a white linen card stock base card I applied the background and stamped a verse from the same set with a mixture of Adirondack eggplant & denim inks.
Using the co-ordinating dies I cut out the largest bat and applied him with glue dots.
The lifted bats and inked bat are fantastic, Arlene! Great background and a perfect sentiment! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect occasion you chose for the alcohol ink lift technique, Arlene! The ink-lifted bats and the tree look ghost-looking against the dark purplish blue background. Thanks so much for this unique Halloween-ish card with us at CAS Mix Up!
