Pink Thank you Card


This simple, yet beautiful thank you card was very easy to make using alcohol inks and gold heat embossing. 
I have not used yupo paper, but card stock that was being thrown out by a printing company. It's about 110lb and very shiney on one side. I used the shiney side. The ink doesn't move as well as it does on yupo, but still gives a nice effect and doesn't melt when heat embossed.
Colours I used were mainly flamingo with a little bit of sunshine yellow.
I used gold foil on the tacky bits which left some blue behind from a previous use but I wasn't worried about that.
I gold heat embossed the beautiful sketched flowers stamp from Simon Says Stamp which made the panel come alive. Then, using the thanks die, also from Simon, I cut gold card stock which was stacked on two layers of white.

Thanks for stopping by,
Helen xo

  1. This is so beautiful! I just tried doing a similar card. But even with dusting the alcohol ink background with antistatic powder... so much of the embossing powder around the stamped image stuck. It was annoying. It looks like you didn't have this problem. How did you avoid that?

    1. Thank you. I have found that alcohol ink can stay sticky. Try leaving overnight and then covering with a paper towel, press down and if nothing comes up, it should work. Good luck xx
