Alcohol Ink Background cards

I am sharing my last cards from July. (I started this post a while ago and am just now coming back to complete it.) For these cards, I was inspired by this video by Jennifer McGuire. I used a ruler and some scrap felt to apply the alcohol inks to my backgrounds. 

First up is a baptism card. I ended up making two cards like this. I cut the cross using my Cricut and the New Testament cartridge. There was a thin outline that was cut from the blue, but it was too hard to get the spacing right, so I tossed that and outlined the cross with glitter glue. I finished off the card with a stamped sentiment.

For my next card, I had had the panel with the butterfly stamped for a while. For the alcohol in part, I had seen the color and then dabbed the ruler over the colors to make the spots. I really liked how they made a tie dye effect. I attached the alcohol ink panel. I used alcohol lift ink and the other part of the alcohol ink piece to stamp the sentiment. I finished the card with some green Nuvo drops and white liquid pearls.

For my last card, I made tighter waves with the alcohol inks. Since I wanted the background to shine in this card, I cut a basic white sentiment and attached it with foam tape. I used some premade flowers and punched a few flowers from coordinating paper. I finished off the card with a strip of glitter ribbon.
