There is always a first time for everything and I don't think that I have ever made a 4 x 4 knowingly! I saw that the challenge for 4 x 4 Friday was blue and silver.
I messed around with my alcohol inks earlier for another challenge and had this background sitting on my desk and wanted to use the tree stamp on it. Well since I used photo paper and not glossy card stock I found out you cannot use your heat gun on it or it will bubble. Oops~
So I took a piece of reg. card stock and colored it with chalk inks and then stamped my image and used my silver embossing powder. TA DA!! That EP has been around in my stash for toooo many years not being used. I wish you could see the silver in the background using the alcohol inks but it just won't scan!
I liked it so much I made it into a Christmas card! This only took about 5 minutes to do so I have some more of those silver "Merry Christmas" stickers so I will make up a few more cards to send out.

Looks really nice, especially when you double click to get a better view.
i need to know more on the use of these alcohol inks i have a yellow one and cranberry, please tell us how to use them properly, even with slightly gloss carboard, just apply from the bottle.. i am getting ''lava'' patterns ;-)(using them together) (supplies are not available here, so therse are the only two i wil ever be using) then i just let them dry, is this the proper way?
