Couple Silhouette Card + Alcohol Ink Technique

Hello my dear friends. I haven't blogged in a while for several different reasons. But I am glad I can write something today. 2017 went by quickly and a lot happened. God remained faithful and loving as He always is. There is absolutely nothing that can compare to His love for us, including our love for one another. As Valentine's Day approaches, let us not only think of ways to make our loved ones happy, but let us think of ways to show love to people who don't expect it from us. That person on the corner asking for money? Give them something to eat and a bottle of water. How about that neighbor whose name you don't even know? Make them a card with a nice message. BE A BLESSING to someone. Start with a small gesture on Valentine's Day, and before you know it, you will be showing love everywhere to everyone. And, of course, show love to those in your life every day. 
I made this card for my husband - for Valentine's Day - but it can really be used for so many different occasions. I hope, somehow, it will inspire you.



Material used
Paper: Silver fine gliter self adhesive paper, yellow pattern cardstock, black cardstock, red cardstock (awesome cardstock sale here)
Tools: Cricut Air Ranger Ink - Tim Holtz - Adirondack Alcohol Ink Applicator
Ink: Alcohol ink
Embellishment: Couple silhouette that you can purchase on any size from my Etsy shop


Tip: Put a little bit (drops) of alcohol ink on ink applicator (the removable soft white piece) and gently tap the glitter paper several times with desired color until the paper is completely covered. 

Next time I will post the picture of another card on which I used the same technique, but with different ink colores and create a different effect. Videos also coming soon on YouTube.
