And this is the card I created.
To make the color stripes - I used alcohol inks on a felt pad that I swiped across my glossy card stock. Then I stamped the weed and sentiment using Memento Tuxedo Black ink over the swipe. The alcohol inks dry almost immediately. (The middle color is magenta IRL for some reason it looks purple in the pic!?)
I used this applicator from Ranger to apply the ink to the card. The felt pads stick to the velcro on the wooden applicator. I used Wild Plum, Lettuce and Stonewashed alcohol inks by Adirondack.The weed and sentiment stamps are from Rubbernecker.
Stamps: Rubbernecker - Weeds #497-06, Petite Word Set #2000
Paper: Glossy white card stock - SU
Ink: Adirondack Alcohol Inks - Wild Plum, Lettuce, Stonewashed, Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Ink Applicator, Felt Pads - Ranger
