Use That Alcohol-inked Paper

Hello friends!
I have a very organic and rustic card to share today.
https://shrsl.com/26df1
It started out with a piece of alcohol-inked paper that I created.
At that time, I was not too impressed with my DIY paper.

However, once I got out the new Penny Black stamp "Country Charisma" and Die "Creative Curves",  things started to look up.

thanks -001

I decided to keep part of the die cut pieces in tact because the color mix from the Alcohol Ink were  beautiful. Thus, I only took part of the pieces off.
thanks

I then stamped and die cut the flower pieces from
"Country Charisma" with the Coordinating Die.

This set also comes with coordinating dies which I used in this card.
thanks for being a great friend

Lastly, I white-embossed the sentiment on black cardstock.
thanks

I love how this turned out. It truly was a very satisfying process. I highly encourage you to "just play" with your supplies and enjoy the process. It is relaxing and therapeutic.
I will be back with another post on how to stretch the Creative Curve Die.

The alcohol inked die cut is such a lovely background for your die cut flower! Leaving some of the pieces in the die cut background adds so much texture! Very pretty card.

Love the look you created by leaving some of the pieces in that bg die, Virginia - plus, I LOVE that die!!! The sentiments on black strips is a great look too!
