I tried Jennifer McGuire's, alcohol ink ghost stamping, technique. I wasn't as successful at getting the smooth alcohol ink BG she created, but I'm going to keep trying, as I love the look of the ghosting. The alcohol inks were applied to yupo paper, let it dry, then you stamp the images you want to ghost, using archival ink and wipe away the ink with a soft cloth. It leaves a ghost image. I die cut the hello and attached it with foam tape, adding the rest of the sentiment.

Oh, we did the same technique today. I love your colors and the pretty leaves you used. I'm sure you had as much fun with the technique as I did. I want to try it again. Gorgeous card!

I Love your alcohol ink background with your ghosted leaves, Sue. I can't wait to see more of your beautiful backgrounds. I would love to try this technique. You have me inspired, my friend. I also love your angled design, colors and die cut Hello with the stamped "from the heart". TFS Hugs..
