Flower & Leaves Alcohol Background Thank You Card

Yet another alcohol ink background card, you can tell I am loving this technique!  I recommend this video by Linda Bedinger and this video by Kelly Acheson if you want to discover and use this technique yourself.  I gave butterflies a rest and went for a floral and foliage theme instead.  Here's the card and envelope together.

Here's the card.  I used Dark Flirty Flamingo, Dark Mango Melody and Dark Melon Mambo Stampin' Blends markers with 99% isopropyl alcohol to create the background.  I attached the vellum to a piece of Basic White CS with a piece of double sided tape in the centre, then added a silver brad to each corner and mounted the whole panel to a Melon Mambo card base.  I die cut the flower in three pieces using Melon Mambo, Mango Melody and Flirty Flamingo CS and attached the three layers together with a silver brad.  I die cut the leaves from silver foil CS, adhered that piece and popped the flower up over the top.  I tucked the sentiment label underneath the flower.

Here's the inside of the card.  I only had a small strip of vellum left over and I adhered that to the bottom of my white insert layer.

Here's the envelope with a stamped flower.
