I had fun making this card for my DH Brother for his birthday. I started with glossy paper and used wiped on alcohol ink using cosmetic sponges in stripes. I then used Blending solution over top with a touch of silver mixatives. I then started stamping – using the Ancient Page inks first as they sink in a bit more. Then I used the midnight blue StazOn and then finished by stamping the turtles in the black.
Thanks for looking! What do you think?

The colors in this card are amazing! I so want to try the alcohol blending. I think I have all the supplies I need, but just haven't got to it. There really aren't enough hours in a day sometimes! Awesome stamping. Love the turtles. TFS. : )

What a great card---I'd love to be able to jump right into it and swim with your turtles!
