I used the Rubber Cement Resist technique from the Resources section but with a twist. Instead of sponging on dye ink I tried using my new bright Alcohol Inks from Ranger. It worked! I love it when a plan comes together! I left the black Alcohol Ink on over night until I peeled off the Rubber Cement. I used the glaze pen on the edges of the punched scalloped oval. I dyed the flower with the Purple Twilight Alcohol Ink and then used the Blending Solution on it to lighten it. The Crystal Brad also had the Citrus Alcohol Ink applied on just the crystal.

Amazing card, I love the look of the alcohol inks with the rubber cement resist - what a great idea. I love how you pulled a the colors together with the ribbon and the edges on the scallop oval are the perfect finishing touch!

I knew right away when I saw your card in the gallery which dress was your inspiration. I used that dress too. I love how the rubber cement resist turned out. Your colors are so vibrant. Wonderful card!!!
