Vanilla Arts Red Bird

I've recently begun taking some of the on-line classes from Vanilla Arts (https://www.vanillaarts.com/online-learning).  The Red Bird was one of my favorites. Its done with a combination of Copic markers and pencils.  This was a fun class! 

Here is my version:

I'll probably do this one again, since the feathers on the back of the cardinal gave me some problems, and I'd like to try it again, to see if I can get better with those feathers!

Alcohol Ink and Yupo Paper

I'm back - slowly.  In March a tree hit our house.  We didn't get back in until the end of June!  Then just as we finally got settled, our sump pump in the basement failed.  Our basement is fully finished and furnished.  So now, we need to deal with that as well.  Fortunately insurance is covering both incidents.

While I we were out of our house, I was seeing examples of Alcohol Ink, Yupo paper, and in some cases foil, backgrounds.  So of course, once I was able to start crafting again, I had to give it a try.  I had used Alcohol Ink in the past, but this was the first time using Yupo paper.

Here are some samples of what I made:

I used some of them to make into cards:

The sentiments for all of the cards are from Gina K Designs Vertical Greetings and Things stamp set.  The Butterfly die cut is from Impression Obsession, and the Flower Die cut is from Simply Defined - Love Story Juliet.

Now what to do with the rest of the samples .....
