Alcohol Marker Card Background | Penguin Place
The percentage of isopropyl alcohol is important for the splattering technique. Instead of purchasing numerous strengths, I used the same 99.9% isopropyl that I used previously for other techniques.

This wintery scene uses a variation of blue tones for the water. The splatter provides the perfect icy feel which is enhanced by the white craft ink sponged around the inside of the die cut opening.
The original greeting was too long to represent the iceberg for this penguin. Since several phrases are separated by a bullet point on this stamp, I chose to eliminate a portion of them by simply cutting them off after I stamped. It’s a great tip for greeting stamps!
Alcohol Marker Card Background | Joyful Flurry
This 4″ x 4″ card is a fantastic size if you’re looking to place up a single image or accessory. The Wonderful Snowflakes are laser cut with a striking iridescent appearance.
The Snowflake Specialty Vellum is one of my favorite products this year! The flocked and iridescent foiling sheets in this vellum package are elegant and versatile. I cut one of the foil snowflakes out using my scissors and adhered it to the top of the larger Wonderful Snowflakes. The rhinestone compliments the foil and gives this card the perfect holiday feel!
