I used a few colors of my new alcohol pearl inks and one of the old alcohol inks. I can't see a lot of shimmer in it but wonder if I should have used more ink as my base. I like the results of the first one where I lifted the inks off my background.
I added some corrugated paper and jute to hang my tag from.
Alcohol Pearl inks - Villainous, enchanted and envy
Alcohol ink - Latte
Hero Arts - Leaf Cluster stamp
DCWV - Corrugate Neutrals paper
Jute
Spellbinders - back to basics tag
Taylored Expressions - Many mini occasions sentiment stamp
I didn't want a plain background to stamp the ink I had lifted off the first background so I used a striped grey pattern paper to stamp it onto, maybe you would be able to see it better if it had been on a plain background.
I made a frame around it using washi tape and I mittered the corners. Added a punched dragonfly and a sentiment.

I like how you can get two cards out of one technique.
Thanks so much for stopping by today,

What a cool technique Connie. Love the earthy colors you used... the leaf cluster stamp is so pretty! I love how you can make 2 cards with this technique... I need to get that ink!
These are so artsy looking and pretty! Great job!
I've never used the lift ink technique -- looks like you had fun with it!
It is always fun to see how a new technique turns out. I must say the lifting the ink process looks fabulous, Connie. Your two cards look great. Love all those arty leaves.
Great results, love to use the alcohol lift too on the inks, always looks ghostly but good...
I think they are both so pretty. I love that stamp for this technique, it is classy! I also really like the subtle look on the patterned paper, it might not have been what you were going for but it is really nice!
seem a good technique with excellent result...
love dragonfly
Amazing!! Both cards are lovely. I really like the top card and how the ink was lifted. I bought a pad but haven't used it yet. The results are really amazing.
Oh how cool is that technique?
I need to 1) watch the video 2) buy whatever Tim tells me too lol
I love the look of each card, but your 2nd one with the dragonfly is amazing! Well done!
