Manatee With Alcohol Ink Background

January 21, 2018

Hello Gerda Steiner Fans! It is Lisa back today with a cute card that features the newer Oh Manatee Stamp Set and an alcohol ink background. This was my first time playing with alcohol inks, but when I started I automatically thought of the ocean, and new my cute little Manatee would be perfect!

To create my card I started with the Alcohol Ink background where I used a mix of dropping, blowing through a straw, and pouncing with a cloth to cover the entire panel. While this was drying I stamped and colored my manatee and fish on separate cardstock. I actually stamped the three different manatees in this set and colored them all in with various Spectrum Noir Markers before I finally landed on the one I liked best. This is a great thing to do with a new set, with so many color options you might not know what you really like until you've tried a few. I then cut all of my images out and adhered them to the alcohol background. For my sentiment I stamped and embossed them both black cardstock with white embossing powder.
