It's the middle of the month and time for a reminder for
CAS Mix Up
While playing with the alcohol inks, I tried just twisting the felt applicator.
I love the swirls so I filled the piece of glossy paper with them.
I should have written down the colors.
Sometimes I get so excited that I don't write things down and just can't remember what I used.
Do you do that?
I found this butterfly in my butterfly box. I loved that you could still see the swirls
when I plopped him on.
I used vellum for the sentiment so it wouldn't cover up all the movement.
After stamping, I heat embossed it so it would show up really nice
and not smear.
There's still time to join in the challenge at
Using stamping, alcohol ink, die cuts, vellum and heat embossing.

Happy Birthday C&9

Gorgeous alcohol ink swirls, Bonnie! Love the colors and love the black butterfly atop!!
OMG Bonnie...I LOVE your alcohol ink swirls my friend!! I must try your technique. The movement of your background is so perfect for your die cut butterfly. Love how your sentiment on vellum does not cover up your pretty swirls. TFS Hugs
great swirly background, and the open butterfly is perfect addition :)
Gorgeous design and background Bonnie!
Your whirling background is wonderful. I have the impression that the background is constantly spinning, it is perfect for this delicate butterfly. Set of colors stunning. Thank you for the amazing inspirations, Bonnie.
Such a great effect with the inks on the background. Great colours and that black die cut butterfly is so perfect on your wonderful card. Never tried that idea before so thank you for the inspiration x
Wonderful movement in your beautiful, swirly, alcohol ink background Bonnie! How cool is that??!! And yes, I forget all the time to write down AI colours. I'm usually good about everything else ... strange, right??!! Your black butterfly and sentiment add some drama. Fantastic combination with the AI swirls. xx
Your swirls are so pretty. Great technique. Awesome card.
wow Bonnie! what a fun technique you made up here! the swirls are perfect with your butterfly - like the action of their wings while flying! Julia xx
What a fabulous piece Bonnie my friend, no wonder you didn't want to cover it up! Beautiful colours too and that big, bold, black butterfly just pops against it, and yes, I too forget to write down what I've done and used, and then can't recreate it! Have a wonderful evening! Love & Hugs. Hazel xx

I love this card! Using the felt applicator to create that look and combined with that butterfly die is just so good...plus the embossed on vellum sentiment. Your design skills are truly amazing. I have that Concord die, which I first saw on one of your cards a while ago, so guess who is going to CASE this asap. I have a thing for butterflies.
Beautiful colors you used and the black really pops on it. I do like that font on the sentiment. This is a great card.
Love your swirly background with the alcohol inks. So pretty with the black butterfly perched on top and the vellum sentiment. TFS
So pretty, Bonnie. Love the creative twisting of your background. The outline butterfly is a great finishing touch.
Great technique with the AIs, Bonnie - I must try that! Love the simple butterfly and vellum sentiment over it - allowing the swirls to really show up. You're not alone - I'm always forgetting to write down my colour names!
Another gobsmackin' card, Bon-Bon!! You keep on inspiring us! And, yeah, oh, yeah, I forget. Especially if the thing is from the UCB box. I just did a post saying a diecut came from the BABES, but Greta reminded me that, um, she actually sent them to me! Thank goodness my friends have good memories!! Hugs, Dolly
Wow, another gorgeous AI background, Bonnie! Fabulous technique, thank you for sharing.
I love your swirls~! They have such wonderful symmetry and movement. I don't write things down because I JUST KNOW I will remember. And of course I don't. I lie to myself a lot. Anywho... LOVE THE CARD!
Whatever the color of the swirls, it's just pretty! And the twiggy butterfly was the perfect embellishment. CAS & Gorgeous! TFS
You make the most beautiful backgrounds, Bonnie!! This looks wonderful with that butterfly die...I love that one so much! Thank you for my beautiful happy mail also with a butterfly:)
WOW! What an incredible background and unusual design using alcohol! I need to come play at your house! Your colors choice is gorgeous on this and I love that your design showcases your background!
Many's the time I forget what I do, Bonnie. I'm so glad you had fun playing with all the different techniques. Your results are wonderful.
Wow!! What a stunner! I've recently fallen in love with alcohol inks, and I never would have thought to turn the applicator in circles like that. Thanks so much for joining us over at Where Creativity Meets C9!
