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?

https://youtu.be/oQ4M-eUCgNA

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.

I then die-cut Mirror Board with the Deck The Halls Merry Christmas Die, The Gift Of giving Merry Christmas Die, Tis The Season Die and Naughty or Nice Noel Dies. 

For the second tag I die-cut the Deck The Halls Patterned Paper with the Steampunk Dreams Distress Tag Die.

Twin Tip Alcohol Ink Marker Combinations:

Ornament: 279, 2727, 286, 301, 006 

Top: 106, 134, 151, 7565

The third tag I die-cut the Couture Creations Blending Card with the Steampunk Dreams Distress Tag Die. I then stamped the Deck The Halls Christmas Presents Outline Stamp onto Couture Creations Blending Card using the Stamp and Colour Outline Ink Pad Black and coloured it with the Couture Creations Twin Tip Alcohol Ink Markers.

Twin Tip Alcohol Ink Marker Combinations:
