Alcohol Ink Messes

 

Today is the the 12th and it is time for another Hot Mess card. This card is #65, so we are now into year #7. The idea of Hot Mess ~ Success is to Get Messy and you will have Success!  Messiness can be almost anything that we come up with--glitter, alcohol inks, glimmer glitz, sponged backgrounds, etc., anything that is a bit messy.  We are a very fun group and will post a card each month on the 12th.  The links to the other members are on my left side bar and I will also link them at the bottom at this post.

I decided to get messy this month, and next month, with alcohol inks. I picked three different types of Yupo paper.  The top left is matte white and the top right is glossy white.  The bottom panel is silver.  I used various shades of green of Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks with a bit of silver added.  I then used all three panels to make Christmas cards.  Two are highlighted today and the third will be in December.

 

For the top card, I used my sweet Impression Obsession Snowflake 6 die, cut from silver metallic cardstock.  I layered the snowflake three times and added it to the white glossy panel that has the green alcohol inks. The sentiment is from a Pinkfresh Studio Foiled Holiday Sentiment pack.  I added a rhinestone in the middle of the snowflake,

The bottom card uses a die set from Gina K Designs called Peace and Shadow.  Again, I die cut the word from silver metallic cardstock and the backer from Lemon Lime Twist.  I die cut the inked panel and the silver backer with Gina K Designs Master Layouts 2. This sentiment was from a Gina K Designs Sentiment pack, die cut with Master Layouts 1.  This card have some rhinestones around the card.

I really like the look of both of these cards and hope you do too.  I also sure hope my fellow messy ladies like them too!  Here are the links to the other somewhat messy crafters:   Carol, Darlene, Jeanette and Terry.   I am sure you will enjoy seeing how everyone got messy this month and was successful in making some great cards!   Be sure to check back to see what we are up to in December as we will all be back for another round! My card will showcase the third panel on silver.
