Alcohol inks on vellum


I tried something different for this card -- I colored vellum with alcohol inks (a green and a blue AI, plus some blending solutions). 

To create this card, I began with a variety of snippets (see photo). The tree shape was cut from a large white snippet. The vellum (also a snippet) was placed behind the apperture (inked side down), then another white snipped was placed behind it to keep the green matting from showing through. The green mat was also a snippet. I went with blue ink for the sentiment to help the card from being too green (or to make the bit of blue in the tree make sense, however you want to look at it.)

 This card is entered in these challenges:

Rudolph challenge, June -- Christmas

CRAFT #682 -- Christmas

Snippets Playground #457-- use snippets
