It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Beautiful Blooms".
I wanted to try to make a mixed media card with Yupo and Alcohol Inks. I started to apply Texture Paste to with Lattice stencil on Yupo. After it was dry I applied a few drops of Blending Solutions and a few different colors of Alcohol Inks, such as Raspberry, Sunset Orange, Sunshine Yellow, Mineral and Pearls. Wow, those colors are bright, especially Raspberry.
Dylusions Spray seemed unsuitable for Yupo, so I used Distress Paint Black Soot mixed with a little bit of water to make spletters. I also used it to make the edges black. From the Simon Says Stamp Blossoms and Butterflies release I used the Tabbed Sentiments 2 stamp set in combination with VeraMark Ink and Black Embossing Powder. Yupo can't handle heat well, and it was a challenge not to melt the paper, here and there it got a little too hot ... whoops! But that gives it something extra!
