Hi everyone! Sharing two not-so-scary Halloween cards today created with alcohol ink blended backgrounds. I love making colorful scenes for my cards and alcohol ink blending is so much fun to do and it makes really cool designs!

My first card features a little witch trick-or-treater and I used colors to coordinate with her outfit for the sky. The blue, purple, and pink colors give the sky a Fall look and the metallic silver adds a pretty shimmer to the card. She is ready to head out and get some candy!

For the second card, I decided to go with darker colors and the little vampire image. I love how the red and purple colors blended together; it's perfect for this scene!

To lighten it up, I added silver glitter spider webs from the 5462 - Web Die Set. These webs come in several styles and they add so much detail to projects. I also attached three little spider die cuts to complete the look. 

I hope you enjoyed today's cards and are inspired to join in the "All the Fall" Challenge!

Have a wonderful day!

Alcohol Ink Blending Tutorial

To create the backgrounds, you will need alcohol ink, alcohol ink paper, rubbing alcohol (I used 91%), and a mini blending brush with felt. 

Step 1: Attach the felt to your blending brush.

Step 2: Add a few drops of alcohol ink to the felt. I like to use three colors and will add more color if needed. 

Step 3: Using a dropper, add one (1) or two (2) drops of rubbing alcohol to the center of the felt. A little goes a long way and you can always add more if needed.

Step 4: Now it's time to have some fun. Blot and blend in the color to cover the paper. You can go over areas multiple times to get different looks, and there is no right or wrong way to do this and each design will be unique. 

Step 5: After you have the look you want, let the card dry. It will dry really quickly since it's rubbing alcohol. Below are some different color combinations I created. 

Step 6: Use the background paper on your project and enjoy!
