I'm over at Magenta today with an Alcohol Ink on Yupo background.
Have you ever looked at one of your background and thought Nah! Well this one started out that way. I had meant to have played around with it but it never made it out of the UFO box to get some TLC. I decided to use a background stamp to bring the colours together and to tone them down a little.
I used my MISTI to stamp the image using Versafine Clair ink and clear embossing powder.
Of note I used heavy weight Yupo which withstands heat embossing a little better than the light weight. Remember to keep moving the heat gun or the Yupo will warp as it's plastic.

I LOVE this background stamped and heat embossed in black over the bright ai background. So pretty Christine. Just goes to show that we all need to keep backgrounds because they can always be used with another project. It looks like a perfect match with the stamp to me! Fantastic together! And love the pretty butterfly! xx
A perfect combination with the lovely butterfly - the stamp looks great over your background!
love the look...gorgeous card.
That stamp has been on my wishlist for awhile now.

So brilliant, Christine! Nice finish to an unfavourable background piece. The bright colours really pop against the black embossing. I need to go through my stash and see what I can salvage. 😂 Stunning card. xx
This background was just waiting for this stamp and technique, Christine! Job well done!
Gorgeous Christine! Like you I keep everything; you never know when it will be the right thing for something. You used it so perfectly!
So unique and artsy. One fabulous effect and love how you stamped over the alcohol inked background and made one very special card x.
Wow! I love the colors in your background and the sort of bubbly effect of the alcohol inks. Beautiful, Christine!
I'd have never thought to use a negative style stamp over a background I didn't care for and how incredible this looks! I'm impressed you could do that much embossing on Yupo! Your colors are gorgeous and love the addition of the matching butterfly.
What an awesome save of your alcohol ink background on Yupo paper, Christine. I love your stamped flowers and butterfly. TFS my friend. Hugs..Nancy
