Coloring Glitter Cardstock with Alcohol Inks

Hello there everyone! Happy Friday! Lydia here. Today, I'll be sharing how you can change up the look of glitter cardstock using alcohol inks.

How to Color Glitter Cardstock with Alcohol Inks

I started with a piece of Dazzling Diamond Glitter Cardstock and used alcohol inks to change the color.

I used Wisteria, Dew Drops, and Pink Diamond Alcohol Inks but you can use any colors that you wish.

I left this to dry a little before cutting out the solid butterfly layers from Mix & Match Mariposa Die Set from it. For the detailed butterfly layers, I used Brushed Gold Glitter Cardstock. I used some very strong adhesive to adhere these pieces together.

For the background, I used the Chevron Background Hot Foil Plate. This was foiled using Brass Hot Foil. I used the same foil to hot foil the sentiment from Sweet Sentiments Hot Foil Plate.

To mute the background a little, I added a piece of vellum before adding the butterflies. To add a little more interest and color, I added a few enamel dots.To see how this card came together please check out the video below or over on YouTube:
