Celebrating Kindness Blog Hop and Marble Background Technique
Welcome everyone to the Celebrate Kindness Blog Hop! If you are coming from Sonja Kerkhoffs blog, then you’re in the right place! We are celebrating 10k YouTube followers for Julia Alderman with Just One More Card.
I’ve created a card using a fun technique that I learned from Wendy Vecchi. It involves Simon Says Stamp inks and a bit of plain ol’ rubbing alcohol!
I used Tim Holtz Specialty Stamping Paper because it work really well with the alcohol and doesn’t warp. I built up my colors one at a time until I hade a nice mix.
I decided to share a Color Coordinate Recipe with you because this combo turned out so pretty!
I’ve shot a video of the background technique, you can view it below or on our YouTube channel.

I thought I had already left a comment about being a beautiful pool of colors. But, I don’t know where it went.
Love the soft color background. Lovely card.
So very pretty!
Pretty pastels!
Beautiful card, love that sentiment and the background is gorgeous! :)
Such a Beautiful card !
I really like the look of the soft colours, I usually go for bolder ones but this card looks really nice!
I love this idea. I will have to try it, especially since i don’t have to buy alcohol inks.
Beautiful
Gorgeous background which looks wonderful with the white blooms! Thank you for the inspiration!
Love the soft colors you used, it feels like springtime!
What a new concept for me!! I didn’t know you could use dye inks with alcohol to create alcohol inks!! This opens a whole new world of colors!! What a beautiful card. Thank you for the inspiration!!

I had no idea you could mix alcohol with inks!!! What a fun technique and I love the soft background you created. I have some of the specialty stamping paper, so I’m going to have to break that out along with my SSS inks and give it a try. Thanks for sharing another fun technique!!! And congrats to Julia for reaching 10K!
