Spellbinders – Be Bold Color Block

Hello Crafty Friends! I have a project created for you using the new Be Bold Color Block Die – Congrats! This is a new product released by Spellbinders. I absolutely love how this die looks and came be used in so many ways! Below is my vision using alcohol inks.

Here is a list of items I used on this card…

• Spellbinders – Be Bold Color Block Congrats Die
• Ranger Alcohol Ink – Cloudy Blue
• Ranger Alcohol Ink – Stream
• Ranger Alcohol Ink – Patina
• Ranger Alcohol Ink Blending Solution
• SSS – Yupo Paper
• Wow Embossing Pen
• SSS – Antique Gold Embossing Powder
• Flat Gold Sequins
• Simon Says Stamp – Big Momma Foam Tape
• Simon Says Stamp Dot Tape Roller
• Neenah Solar White 80 lb Card stock
• Neenah Solar White 110 lb Card Stock – Card base

I haven’t really jumped into alcohol inks, but I have been trying to get really adventurous (for myself) with my products I have on hand. I am always buying the new and shiny and this year, I really want to try and use what I have (with a little new buying!)

So for this, I grabbed the alcohol inks I had on hand and went to town. I started with the Alcohol ink blending solution and adding that to the Yupo paper and then slowly began to add the different colors of ink until I was happy with the amount of ink that was down.

When it was done, I really wanted to add gold veining. However, I was having a hard time getting the deco foil to stick, so instead, I grabbed an embossing pen and started creating veining on my own! Once I was happy I sprinkled the card with SSS – Antique gold powder and then heat set it.

I grabbed the congrats die and cut it out of the Alcohol ink background, as well as three additional times out of Neenah 80lb White card stock. I wanted these letters to pop!

I went to work gluing all of them together and then gluing them onto a card. I added the gold sequins and viola!
