In Everything Give Thanks

Recently I bought some alcohol inks
and I've been playing with them a bit.


I used a NBUS die from Impression Obsession to cut out some little leaves.

I used just one on this card. More seemed to be too much.

Addicted to Stamps

This will be sent for Thanksgiving.

Cuttlebug Mania
is looking for die cuts done on a manual machine.

Cuttlebug Mania

I used my Big Shot to cut the leaf.

The Mixed Media Challenge
is looking for Fall Colors with the option of metal or leaves.



I have used stamp and ink, Alcohol Ink Background, Die Cut, Dry Embossing & twine.

I love the elegant simplicity of your card, Bonnie! I admire your restraint with the just using one die-cut leaf. (I would have most likely gone leaf crazy and used a bunch!) That one leaf (fabulously colored with alcohol inks) is just perfect! Thanks so much for playing with us at The Mixed Media Card Challenge! :o)

Darnell said...

Beautiful, Bonnie! I'm so CASEing the layout of your moving card with the double framed embossing using your dies to frame out your sediment and then the kraft stitched base. Genius!! And that's not even talking about that extraordinary leaf tied in a bow!! Thank you for playing again in my NBUS Challenge!! Hugs, Darnell

Love the embossing on the card, and the leaf is pretty on it's own, for sure!

I just bought the tiny IO leaves, now I have both sets. I'm so pleased with them, as the embossing really shows so well. And of course, they are perfect for the alcohol inks too!

Karren said...

Just beautiful - I love all the detail you've created without any bulk.

Greta said...

Perfectly designed card, Bonnie! Wish I could use my alcohol inks successfully!

I LOVE this, Bonnie! Very pretty. The leaf looks so real with the alcohol inks. Aren't they fun to play with?!

Love the way you used the stitched frames on this. My order from Lil Inkers arrived while I was on holiday - I must get busy and use them - thanks for the inspiration!

Gorgeous, I love the leaf on it's own it stands out so beautifully. I've been MIA for a while as we moved (downsized which was a lot of work). Life is just getting back to normal but I will have company for a couple of weeks to keep me busy with fun. Cheers, Shirleyx
