Good Morning everyone
In my January craft sort out i came across these dry embossed alcohol inked acetate panels that were already attached to black card frame - I made these panels years ago and they just got hidden away so now was the time to use them. I also came across these lovely mechanical butterfly die cuts that a crafty friend had sent me and the 2 just seemed the perfect match.
I first die cut acetate into spellbinders label1 shape and put through a sunray embossing folder, i then added alcohol inks in pinks & purples and let them do their magic. I die cut a label1 frame from black card and adhered the acetate to the back of it, added foam tape around the frame edge, then a white die cut to the back and then glued flat onto a larger black die cut. By adding the white layer behind the acetate it helps the ink colours to really pop.
I die cut my card base using a larger spellbinders label 1 from white card. I added the butterfly die cut with some aurora borealis gems on his body. Some white pen dots to each corner & a tim Holtz chat sticker to finish. This card might have taken 4 years to come together but i was pleased with the outcome and its always satisfying to finish a half done project.
This really shows the vibrancy of the alcohol inks and i love how the light plays on the acetate with the different heights of the embossing
and a 2nd version which id used more sunshine colours - i guess at the time i thought sunray embossing folder so sunshine alcohol ink colours😀
