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.

Hey Sharri,
I have always loved to watch any videos that you make and of course this one is no exception!! I really love the softness of these colors especially when using alcohol to blend them with!! Cool beans, never knew that, so thanks for sharing your card and techniques.
I love when designers think outside of the box!!! Using alcohol was a brilliant idea & the results are stunning! :)

Simply elegant card! I wish we could grow hydrangeas here in the desert. We can buy potted plants and enjoy them indoors, but they don’t last long. Your card reminded me of the beautiful flower which matches the beautiful sentiment and purpose of your card- spread kindness AND beauty.
