Hello-
We made our first trip since late 2019 to Ohio last week having returned just this mid week. It was wonderful to see the family and to catch up.
When I got back I looked through challenges and was so taken with the lovely inspiration over at CAS Mix Up I had to play along.
I have a set of cards for fun and a single card for the challenge. I used the alcohol inks with a straw to move the color around. White die cuts were used for the card set and a cute and silly little stamp set from The Greetery was used for the stand alone card.
If you haven't played with Alcohol inks and vellum before give it a try.
Here is my entry for the challenge using stamping, alcohol inks and die cutting: I really liked the juxtaposition of the cartoonish starfish with the artsy background.

Came for one card and was delighted to find extras. You achieved such lovely, vibrant results with your alcohol/vellum creative session. Your right, that adorable chubby star is darling juxtaposed against the pretty greens and blues. And your card set is amazing with those frame dies. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up.
These look fabulous Cat! Haven't tried AI on vellum. Love the punny sentiment and the cool crisp white diecuts on the notecard set, Cathy x
Wowie, your backgrounds are amazing and I especially like the colors on the first card. Looks perfect with your funny little starfish. What a great bunch of cards! Any of them would be perfect for our CAS Mix Up challenge. Thanks for sharing in the gallery! It's so nice that you got to visit family after all this time. The trip must have been rejuvenating.
good to hear you have a nice family visit - and that little starfish is adorable with the vellum/AI background.
From time to time I also like to work with alcohol inks and am amazed at their luminosity every time. You managed to create wonderful cards.
Always good to catch up with family and so glad you had a wonderful time x. What a fun starfish card with a fabulous effect with the inks and the cutest of image x. The four note cards look wonderful too Cat x.
So glad you enjoyed your trip and lovely to see you choose WAs Mix Up for your first card after it. Love that alcohol ink background, such great colours and cute little starfish. your set of note cards are stunning too, lovely vibrant colours. We should all use our alcohol inks more often I think xx
Wow, terrific cards! AIs make such wonderful cards, if only they weren't so intimidating...

Your set of note cards are so pretty. That's the amazing thing about alcohol inks. They are so amazing that just a small piece makes a beautiful card. Love them with the square frame and white die-cuts.
