Cut a piece of white cardstock to 4¼" [10.8 cm] x 11" [27.9 cm] and fold it in half. This will be your card base.

#@#

Squeeze a couple small drops of alcohol blending solution on the bottom (5" [12.7 cm] side) of a piece of alcohol ink Yupo® paper.

#@#

Directly on top of the alcohol blending solution, squeeze a drop of glacier alcohol ink in the middle, then squeeze a drop of gumball alcohol ink on either side of the glacier drop.

#@#

Use the alcohol ink air blower to gently move the ink up on the Yupo® paper. You want the inks to flow together so you get a mix of pink, blue and purple. Be sure to leave empty space at the top where you’ll add your sentiment later. Let it dry for a bit before moving on to the sentiment.
TIP: If the alcohol ink puddles or gets too dark, use a mini mister to spritz a little alcohol blending solution over the darker areas. This will get the alcohol ink moving again and allow you to blend it with the air blower.

#@#

Using an acrylic block (or stamp positioner) and archival ink in jet black, stamp ‘thinking of you' from the ‘Peony' sentiment stamp set in the white area at the top of your Yupo® paper.

#@#

Trim the panel down to 3¾" x 5" [9.5 cm x 12.7 cm].

#@#

Attach the trimmed panel to your white card base using a tape runner.
