Cards Stamps and Ink: alcohol ink alloys

Sending lots of hugs for Simon Says Stamp's All The Feels release!

Thursday, March 25, 2021

Hi Everyone! The Simon Says Stamp All the Feels release is now live! For this card I used the new XL Greetings 2 stamp set by Simon Says Stamp !

First I pulled out a piece of Yupo paper and squeezed some Ranger Alcohol Blending Solution all over it. Then squeezed a few drops of the Tim Holtz Fiesta alcohol ink and used my blower to move the ink around the Yupo paper. Then I added a few drops of the Tim Holtz Guilded Alloy and used my blower again to move it around on my Yupo paper.

Once dry I adhered it to my card base made of Neenah 110# cardstock with some GIna K Connect glue. I took the Sending lots of Hugs sentiment from the new XL Greetings 2 stamp set and put it in my Misti and stamped it on my alcohol ink panel using some Jet Black archival ink. I added a few gold gems from Studio Katia and that is it!

Thanks for taking a look at my blog today!

What are eating disorders and how do they develop?

Eating disorders are complex mental illnesses with physical manifestations. A number of factors can contribute to the development of an eating disorder, including genetics, mental health, and cultural factors. While eating disorders are serious and can have life-threatening complications, they are also treatable illnesses.

How do I know if I have an ED?

If the way you eat and think about food interferes with your life and keeps you from enjoying life and moving forward, you may be experiencing disordered eating. Take it seriously and talk to someone who can help, this may be your primary care provider, or one of the helplines above.
