Background Technique with Blender Pens and Alcohol

 What a great technique I have just learnt from my good friend Kristy Moloney. I'm unsure what the correct title it should hold, so I have just named it Background Technique with Blender Pens and Alcohol.

You will want to give this a go, so easy. My 7 y.o. grand-daughter Ivy, sat beside me and watched, and the next minute she was creating away herself, picked her own colours. To be truthful hers was better than mine.๐Ÿ˜‚

What you will need to gather is - Isopropyl alcohol 500ml $30- or 125ml $10- at Bunnings in Australia.    A small paint brush, or your aqua painter. Small egg cup for alcohol, Spritzing tool (Stampin' Up! old one or tool that blows air. Check out your Chemist or Hardware Store)    

Stampin' Up! Vellum Card Stock and Window sheet. Your choice of colour in the dark Blender Pens.

Checkout my video on this technique.

Here are the cards I made with the finished product.

This card is using the window sheets, its very bright and vibrant, and a sneak peak at an up and coming stamp set.
Vellum used this time, and I made it look like a window. Love this Quite Curvy set.
More sneak peaks, this is using the window sheet again.
Another vellum background.
