A pink congratulation card (with alcohol inks)

Hello everyone!

I have a new card made with my lovely alcohol inks to share with you today. I was so inspired by a girl who had bought an alcohol ink paper pad where the ink was on each side of the paper almost meeting up in the middle but with a white space between. I thought it was so gorgeous I had to try it out myself with my inks and here's the result. I decided to put the vellum paper on the white space but you can still see it through the vellum paper. I also used some gorgeous gold cardstock, that is now one of my favourite papers to use on cards! The metallic look of it is beautiful!

Here's the card:

The butterfly from the stamp and die sets Spread your wings is stamped with Versamark ink and heat embossed with WOW Bright Opaque White embossing powder. The love die is called Lots of love by MFT and I used it with silver cardstock. The sentiment is from a stamp set called Anything but Basic Friendship by MFT and also heat embossed with WOW Bright opaque white embossing powder.

An alcohol ink birthday card (MFT)
