Step 1: Gather your supplies. You will need Black Dura Bright, Alcohol Inks in Patina and Aquamarine, Alcohol Pearls in Tranquil and Elixir, Alcohol Ink Alloy Gilded, Alcohol Ink Mixative Snow Cap, Alcohol Blending Solution, Gold Embossing Powder and the Noteworthy Stamp Set.  

Step 2: I used two pieces of Black Dura-Bright and cut them in half to 3 1/2 x 5 to create 4 panels.  

Step 3: Before you get started, set up your Alcohol Inks, Alloy and Mixative so you are ready to use them. I line them up on my glass mat and place the corresponding cap near the open bottle of whatever I am using.  

Step 4: Add some blending solution to your Glass Mat (hard to see in the photo but it is there).  

Step 5: Add some drops of Snow Cap Mixative. This is what is going to help all your colors pop on the black surface.  

Step 6: Add some drops of the rest of your inks and alloy on top of the mixative. 

Step 7: Swipe the panels through the alcohol inks. I just did one swipe on each. Be careful to swipe them through, not press them into the ink and smoosh around, or you will not get this look.  

Step 8: Stamp and emboss your sentiments onto a piece of black cardstock using Gold Embossing Powder.  

Step 9: Add sentiments to your panels, add the panels to a piece of Metallic Kraft Stock, then to a white notecard.  

I hope you will try this technique out for yourself. It is something a bit different for me, but I love the overall look of the inks on this paper.
