Christmas Balcony Front Card - Couture Creations

Hi Everyone, Anet here today and welcome to my inspiration post. 

I created a magical Christmas Balcony Front Card using the Golden Age Alcohol Inks and Deck The Halls Collection from Couture Creations




Instructions:

My video tutorial below will show you how to adhere vellum to cardstock.

Are you ready to learn how to effortlessly 
adhere vellum to cardstock using Diecut'N Bond? 


I first started with the vellum background and lay down Alcohol Ink Blending Solution in the middle of the Vellum.


I then added the following Couture Creations Alcohol Inks and moved it around with an alcohol ink blower:

- Alcohol Ink Golden Age Onyx
- Alcohol Ink Golden Age Plum 
- Alcohol Ink Golden Age Snow
- Alcohol Ink Golden Age Cappuccino
- Alcohol Ink Metallic Alloy Ice Blue


By adding the blending solution and golden age alcohol inks in the middle of the vellum it did not curled up at all.

I then used Alcohol Lift-Ink with a stencil to create a snowflake ghost effect on the alcohol ink background.




I adhered the golden age alcohol ink vellum background on the Balcony Front Card I created. 

Measurements:

Card Base:  6" x 6". Score in half.
Foil Cardstock: 5 3/4" x 2 3/4" (Two)
Golden Age Alcohol Ink Vellum Background: 5 1/2" x 2 1/2" (Two)


Inside Piece:  5" x 2 1/2". Score at 1/2", 2 1/2" and 4 1/2".
Foil Cardstock: 1 3/4" x 2 1/4" (Two)
Golden Age Alcohol Ink Vellum Background: 1 1/2" x 2" (Two)



Front Piece:  7" x 1 1/2". Score at 1/2", 3 1/2" and 6 1/2".
Foil Cardstock: 2 3/4" x 1 1/4" (Two)
Golden Age Alcohol Ink Vellum Background: 2 1/2" x 1" (Two)



I found the inspiration from Lesley's Blog.

I then die-cut foil cardstock with the Deck The Halls Happy Holidays Tall Card Nesting, Swirling Christmas Tree, Holly Centrepiece and Reindeer Baubles Dies to finish.
