A few more cards...

I have had some fun playing with my alcohol inks the last couple days, and Mercedes has loved making some of her own backgrounds too. I have one of the Tim Holtz dvd's so Mercedes thinks it is just too fun to be able to watch how it's done and then actually trying it herself (with a bit of my help) ;)

These first ones we made into backgrounds and then used some of the coredinations black magic cardstock and the blue mat is also a coredinations product...I really like this paper. For the little embellishment we used Tim Holtz fragments, and just made them at the same time that we made the background. We then stamped some images on glossy cardstock with Archival ink and then used glossy accents to glue the image to the back of the fragment. Wait a few seconds and then just cut around the image as close to the edge as possible, and voila a custom embellishment that matches the card perfectly!

For these next cards I used plastic packaging along with alcohol inks, glitter and glossy accents to make the stars. Have I mentioned how much I like glossy accents! lol
Not much else going on right now. I do have another completed project but it is for a secret santa swap and I don't know if my friend ever looks here, but I can't take the chance so you won't get to see it until December! lol But luckily we are having a crop on Scrapcentral in the next week or two, so hopefully I can get some layouts done because I have a ton of pics that need to be scrapped...as long as I quit making cards for a day or two! lol
