Oh My Gosh .. it's October!

Morning readers,

It's the first of the month again, which means a new "ANYTHING GOES" challenge over at the Love To Craft Challenge Blog, we'd love to see your entry. I made this card as a general purpose card, figuring the sentiment could apply to  many things, exam/driving success, new job, retirement ..... whaddya think?

My card

And a closer pic to show the foiling

 

The front, back and inside of my card along with the front and back of my envelope

Materials used:

• White A2/C6, 250gsm, card and matching sized envelope
• Two pieces of card (one black one white) cut to 5¼" x 3¾"
• One piece of photo card cut to 5" x 3½"
• Snippets of card in white and black
• On the photo paper alcohol inks were dripped, blending solution added and the resulting liquid blown (using a straw) to create design. This background was actually made some while ago and had been sitting in a drawer awaiting a purpose! IF I recall correctly the alcohol inks used were probably stream, cranberry and pink sorbet
• Where the inks were slowest to dry then silver holographic and silver foil was pressed over to give extra bling
• On the white snippet my VLV sentiment (from plate #925) was stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
• Creative Expressions chevron image (from CEC851 - "Inspired Edges") was stamped twice, using Ranger Archival paradise teal and vibrant fuchsia, to reflect the colours of alcohol inks
