Alcohol Ink Background Ornament Dangly Tent Card

Yes, another alcohol ink background card!  This time I tried traditional Christmassy colours and made a dangly tent card.  Here's the card and envelope together.

I made the card from Old Olive CS and cut a stitched rectangular aperture from the front.  I scribbled Dark Mango Melody, Dark Old Olive and Dark Real Red Stampin' Blends onto a panel of vellum and dabbed on 99% isopropyl alcohol with a flat paintbrush to create the background.  I taped the vellum to a sheet of Basic White CS, cut it to size and glued it to the back of my Old Olive tent card.  Although I'd used a Dark Real Red Stampin' Blend on the background, Real Red CS didn't look quite right so I used Polished Pink as my accent colour.  I die cut the solid ornament in Metallic Gold specialty paper and cut the fancy overlay ornament in Polished Pink.  I then added a gold topper and some gold cord and attached the ornament so it will dangle freely.  I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark and heat embossed with gold embossing powder, die cut it with a fishtail flag banner die and glued that in place.  To finish off the front I added some gold Gilded Gems.

Here's a closer look.

Here's a side view so you can see I added a W shaped CS piece which means the tent card will stand up better on display.

Here's the back of the card.  The sentiment stamps come from the SU! 'Peace & Joy' set.  I drew a line from the letter Y with a gold Sharpie, added an ornament, topper and a bow.  A bit busy for just a sentiment panel but at least it's fun!
