Alcohol Ink Vellum background with Stampin’ Blends and Wink of Stella (Patty's Stamping Spot)

This technique is so addictive!! I’ve made a dozen of these Alcohol Ink Vellum background pieces with Stampin’ Blends markers, and I feel like I could create these in endless color combos forever!!

I hope you were able to join me live yesterday for one of my weekly crafting videos!! If not, please enjoy the VIDEO replay at the bottom of this blog post!

If you’ve watched any of the many video tutorials on YouTube for this technique, you know there are lots of ways to create these backgrounds with Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers on vellum cardstock. I wanted to try a few different things with this technique, so as you’ll see in the video below, I also used a spritz bottle with rubbing alcohol and lots of Wink of Stella!

Stampin’ Blends Color Combos:

Pink Card in this post: Dark Melon Mambo, Dark Polished Pink, Dark Rich Razzleberry, Dark Fresh Freesia Wink of Stella

Blue/Green card in this post: Dark Misty Moonlight, Light Misty Moonlight, Dark Shaded Spruce, Dark Night of Navy Wink of Stella

Alcohol Ink Vellum Background Instructions:

This is my version, as I’ve mentioned, you’ll find many other ways to do this on YouTube

Scribble Stampin’ Blends ink onto Vellum Cardstock
Spritz with 90% Rubbing Alcohol in a spritzer or spray bottle
Dip Brush or Water Painter into Rubbing Alcohol and dab onto each color (doing all of one color at a time, clean brush, move to next color, etc.)
Drip, tap and splash Wink of Stella as desired
Drip, tap and splash rubbing alcohol
Flick more ink from Stampin’ Blends onto project
Dry with heat tool if desired
Mount to cardstock – mounting on white will really make the colors pop!

After I created several background pieces, and let them air dry (about an hour), I used Seal to adhere them to Thick Basic White Cardstock.

To create my finished pink card, I added Adhesive Sheets to Basic White cardstock, and die cut it with the Artistic Die, then peeled the backing off and added the “sticker” to my vellum.

To frame my vellum piece, I die cut a Stitched Rectangle with Polished Pink cardstock, cut strips of Foam Adhesive Sheets, added per the photo below, then added the frame to the vellum piece.

My Heartfelt Thanks card is finished off with a white crinkled seam binding ribbon bow and the greeting from the Encircled in Friendship set and a die cut from the Tasteful Labels dies. Polished Pink Jewels finish off the center of the large flower. (get them free from me with your $50 order June 16-30, 2021).

The second card I’m happy to share with you today features a die cut seahorse from the Sea Life dies, from the Ombre Specialty paper! The seaweed is die cut from Evening Evergreen Shimmer vellum.. it’s pretty sparkly in person, sorry this photo didn’t catch that! Evening Evergreen jewels look like underwater bubbles on my card, and the greeting is from the new Many Happenings stamp set!
