A simple Alcohol Ink background

Good Thursday Morning Ladies, 

How are you all?  How is your week going?  I can hardly believe its Friday tomorrow,  we didn't do much yesterday (Lucy & I), Paul was at work, we had to pop to Co-Op in Bourton to get some chocolate as we were making a Creme Egg Cheesecake,  she insisted that I take my new walking aid, it's a 4 wheel walking aid, with a seat, it's a bit embarrassing if I'm honest however it is 100 times more comfortable to use than my crutches for short trips!  It worked fine plus I had somewhere to put my shopping and my purse! 🤣😂

Brenda I have sent you a text message, as my Messenger messages aren't getting to you, I think it may be something to do with the fact that in my Messenger your name is 'fridges at Brenda " I think it got changed a few weeks ago when you were looking for a new fridge.  🤣😂  its only to let you know that we are planning a Watford meet up, I think the journey may be too exhausting for you though, I wish we could come closer to you my lovely XXX 

Janet did you get to Knit & Natter this week, I hope that you are managing to get out my lovely XXX 

Now onto todays card,  this was a super quick make yesterday afternoon,  I was feeling mentally drained after looking at dresses since 10am, I have ordered a load to have a try on at home, fingers crossed that one will work. 

I took a piece of heat resistant acetate and added some yellow, orange and pink alcohol inks and smooshee them together with a blending tool. Once they were dried I took a piece of scrunched up tissue paper that was slightly larger than my piece of acetate, I sprayed some adhesive onto tje back of my inked piece and smooshed it onto the tissue paper, I then decided to add some glue over the tissue and popped it onto a piece of white card. I cut a piece down to 2 1/2 by 3 inches.  I then chose a simple stamp to add to the front, (a flower stem from Tasteful Textures)  I dusted my piece of acetate with anti static bag and them stamped the flower stem,  I added gold embossing powder land heat set, annoyingly the acetate still warped a bit.  I placed the acetate piece it onto my card base (don't stick yet). I popped the whole lot into my stamp platform and decided where the focal piece was going to go and while it was in place I lined my sentiment up beneath the acetate.  I used a Julie Hickey sentiment,  I absolutely LOVE these sentiments as they look hand written.  I stamped in Versamark and added gold embossing powder, which I then heat set.  I placed large fo pads onto thr back of the acetate piece (to try and get it to lay flat), sadly it didn't lay completely flat.  I lined the acetate piece up above the sentiment,  added glue to foam pads and adhered it to my card.  Despite the buckled acetate I think it looks okay.  Trying to photograph it was a nightmare,  I have sent you a selection of photos taken at different spots around the house, hopefully they give you a good idea of how it looks.

I get to spend the day with Sophie today, I hope that you have a lovely Thursday, 

Love & Hugs
