This card was pretty simple and it turned out to be so elegant looking. We used the adhesive sheets on the back of the gold foil paper before diecutting. That way it becomes a sticker and is so much easier to apply to the DSP. That's it! Gorgeous DSP and a diecut. I meant to stamp the greeting directly on the DSP, but I had an oops, so I stamped on Basic White cardstock and adhered over the oops.

This card has a beautiful marbled look using Stampin' Blends alcohol ink markers on vellum and 91% alcohol. By dabbing with a paintbrush you get this striking background. I kicked it up a notch, by adding some Multipurpose glue with a fine tip applicator. Then sat it on top of the gilded leafing flakes in a box and volia! Instant pizzazz:)

A: Soft
Seafoam B: Highland Heather layer: 4 x 5-1/4
Vellum: 4 x 5-1/4 -
Begin
by applying splotches of color with Stampin' Blends onto vellum
cardstock. Cover most of the surface. Use the bullet tip.
Use
a paint brush to apply 91% alcohol and not be afraid to be generous
in your application. Don't swish it on with the brush, use a
daubing/pouncing motion. Allow to dry.
Apply Multipurpose glue with a
fine tip applicator following some of the 'veins' in the ink
pattern. Place the cardstock upside down in the leafing container,
finally rub off the access.
Basic White: 4 x 5-1/4 - Mount
the completed vellum piece on white cardstock, then trim all four
sides to 3-3/4 x 5.
