Hey everybody!Happy Monday! I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend. I know for me, it just flew by. The weekends ar

e always so packed with stuff, that when you finally stop and take a breath, it's already Monday. I was able to get some stamping done and boy did I have fun. I got to play with some products that I had not used in a long while - Alcohol Inks. I have them on my desk, in a storage drawer, and when I went into the drawer, looking for something else, I said to myself, "Kimba, you HAVE TO make a card using these inks" and that's is how today's card was created. It's the 3rd layer of the card. The finished product came out so nicely, that I plan on creating alot more using is product.
Below, are instructions on how I made the card and I hope that this will inspire you to pull out your alcohol inks and use them to create something awesome....or, better yet, give you a good excuse to go shopping and pick up some inks (wink...wink - I have to enable all of you...it's only fair) from your local craft store.
I hope you like the card, and thanks for stopping by!
Kimba :)
