Alcohol Marker background on Acetate CI#95

Hello and Welcome to our Amazing Colour INKspiration challenges.

Our challenges are inspired by some amazing Pinterest images converted into our amazing array of Stampin' Up! colours.

Our colours this time are:  Gold, Balmy Blue, Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape and Blackberry Bliss.  

I have to share a disclaimer that Purples are not in my comfort zone...... but I think these turned out to be very pretty.  I wanted to try a technique using our Alcohol Markers to create a background onto vellum and this is behind the piece of Golden Garden Specialty Acetate.  (Michele Jutrisa has a good video showing how to do this)

I've featured the Boho Indigo Product Medley for my vases and foliage along with the gorgeous Blackberry Bliss ribbon from the Ice Cream Corner Suite.  The final touch on the front is some of the super sweet Pastel Pearls to add extra interest to the foliage.

Inside the card has some more trimmed and coloured vellum and the Acetate layer.  I've used Blackberry Bliss and Balmy Blue reinkers along with alcohol for the background.
