tim holtz: new alcohol pearls & alloy

Hi there crafty friends! It's always a great day when new colors of anything show up from Ranger and today it is 2 new sets of Alcohol Pearls and the new Rose Alloy. I have used each set to make a card These mini slimline cards were created using 3 1/4  x 6 panels of yupo paper. For the warm colored card, I combined Intense, Scorch and Radiant Pearls along with Rose Alloy. To create the panel, I cut my Yupo paper to 3 1/4 x 6. I added some Alcohol Blending Solution to the panel and then added the Alcohol Pearls. I moved the Pearls around with an Alcohol Ink Air Blower, then added small drops of the Rose Alloy, more blending solution and then moved that around with the Air Blower as well. To finish the background, I splattered a little blending solution over the panel using a Splatter Brush, then dried the panel with a Heat Tool to stop the ink from moving too much. 

For the florals on this card, I cut out three of the flowers from the Funky Florals Large out of Distress Watercolor Cardstock, and I cut the inside pieces of the florals from the Rose Gold Kraft Stock in the Metallic Kraft Paper Pad. I used the Tim Holtz Sizzix Shaping Kit tool to help give my fIowers some more dimension.  cut the leaves from both papers using the Garden Greens dies and then finished the card with an Idea-ology Quotations Metallic Sticker. I used foam tape to adhere the finished panel to a 3 1/2 x 6 card. 

For the cool colored card, I cut the Yupo panel the same size as the card above (3 1/4 x 6). I added some Alcohol Blending Solution to the panel and then added the Alcohol Pearls this time in Elixir, Devine and Opulent. I moved the Pearls around with an Alcohol Ink Air Blower, then added small drops of the Rose Alloy, more blending solution and then moved that around with the Air Blower as well. To finish the background, I splattered a little blending solution over the panel using a Splatter Brush, then dried the panel with a Heat Tool to stop the ink from moving too much. 

For the florals on this card, I cut out the flowers from the Brushstroke Flowers 1 Thinlits dies out of Distress Watercolor Cardstock, and I cut the inside pieces of the florals from the Rose Gold Kraft Stock in the Metallic Kraft Paper Pad. I used the Tim Holtz Sizzix Shaping Kit tool to help give my fIowers a little extra dimension. I finished the card with an Idea-ology Quotations Metallic Sticker. I used foam tape to adhere the finished panel to a 3 1/2 x 6 card.
