Hello and welcome,
I've entered into the latest TGIF Challenges which is a technique challenge - Alcohol Blending using Stampin' Blends (alcohol markers), Vellum Cardstock, Isopropyl Alcohol, paint brush and ear syringe.
I've created a few of these cards in the past and they are always lots of fun to create using this technique. The choice of Stampin' Blends I've used for this Christmas card are Night of Navy, Balmy Blue, Polished Pink, Magenta Madness and Fresh Freesia. The combination of colours mix well together and I've used some of the same colours through out the card.
You start by adding the Stampin' Blends using the brush tip onto the sheet of Vellum Cardstock, then apply tiny drops using the Isopropyl Alcohol with the brush and then puff air by using the ear syringe. This is a fun technique and I highly recommend trying it out.
To create the rest of the card I've used the Sparkle of Season Stamp Set and Seasonal Swirl Dies. I've used Basic White Cardstock for the wreath and applied ink using the Blending Brush and Sponge Daubers.
I added extra leaves using left over paper from the Wonderful Snowflakes Embellishments, I adore the iridescent look of the foil.
The bear is from the Count on Me Stamp Set and is watercolour using Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink Ink. To finish off the card I applied the Subtle Shimmer Sequins and stamped the greeting in Night of Navy Ink onto Basic White Cardstock.

Hi Vicki, this card is so lovely! I love the softness look to it that you have created with the vellum, out of interest what method did you use to mount the vellum piece onto the basic white mat, being a larger piece used for the alcohol technique, I'm aware that the vellum can curl somewhat and many adhesives show through. Thanks, Christine from across the ditch!
