- Easy Card Topper with Alcohol Ink: Especially for you

I started off applying some Isopropyl Alcohol and Blending Solution to a piece of Yupo and then I added some Pink Sherbet and Monsoon alcohol ink and blew the colour across the yupo using my air blower.
Adding the alcohol and blending solution before the colours allows the alcohol ink to flow over the yupo easily and gives you more ‘play time’

I keep a sprayer bottle with Isopropyl Alcohol with my alcohol ink supplies.
I then spritzed over the yupo with alcohol to create little splotches in the ink. The alcohol lightens the colour immediately. For smaller droplets, spray a fine mist, for larger droplets, pump the trigger of the sprayer

Becuase I knew I wanted to cut an image out of the yupo, I decided to use normal weight yupo and not the heavyweight, as I find my Thinlits dies battle to cut through the heavyweight yupo.
I cut a butterfly from the coloured background and an extra white butterfly from normal white cardstock

Then I adhered the yupo to a piece of white cardstock

And matted the card topper onto some deep blue cardstock

I adhered the white die cut butterfly to the cut out background using my fav… Distress Collage Medium

And then adhered the alcohol ink butterfly in the centre only so that the wings give the piece some dimension

I stamped a sentiment from a Penny Black Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival Ink and my stamping platform onto a piece of plain white cardstock

And adhered the sentiment to the card topper using foam tape for some added dimension.
I love to use my mini Wendy Vecchi Make Art Stay-tion to line up sentiments on my card toppers

Then I added a few Prima Melange Art Pebbles to the card topper randomly using Distress Collage Medium

A really simple card, but ‘oh so pretty!’
