Hi friends, Karla back today with a masculine Christmas card using the awesome Multi Gear Stencil and Mini Wood Gears. I decided to try the Alcohol Lift technique and love how it turned out!
I started by adding Ranger Alcohol Ink to a piece of Yupo paper cut to fit my card. I grabbed a couple greens, a blue and a mushroom colour. As I dried the inks with my heat gun it pushed them around a bit. Then, I layered the Multi Gear Stencil on the background and put a bit of Alcohol Lift Reinker on a sponge. I lightly sponged all over the background and when I removed the Stencil I layered a baby wipe on top of the background- being careful not to rub, I just pressed it down and it pulled up the Ink colour. I then let it dry a bit and lightly buffed with a soft tissue to remove a little more ink. I stamped Merry Christmas with the Wild Whisper Christmas Comfort 4x4 stamp set directly on the background.
I created a metallic effect on the Mini Wood Gears by embossing them with Emerald Creek Hammered Metal and Charred Gold Embossing Powders. I love this Jeep from the Wild Whisper Christmas Comfort 2x3 stamp set! I stamped it on kraft cardstock and coloured it in with Jane Davenport Magic Wand Coloured Pencils and added some Emerald Creek Pyrite Gemstones under the wheels.
