For my take on this theme I am using an old stamp set CMS358 Music and Advert in the background of my card to tie into the music theme. Process video down below.

For this under 15min card I used: AI glacier, vineyard, effort, and cobalt, stamp set CMS358 music and advert, label sticker sentiment, Idea-ology black cardstock and metallic cardstock, Sizzix bird silhouette and tattered florals, yupo paper, AI ink blower tool, alcohol lift ink, and blending solution.

To start this card I took a piece of yupo paper and drizzled on some blending solution. The yupo is 5x7in.

Next I dropped on alcohol inks in the colors of vineyard, cobalt, eggplant, and glacier.

Then I moved the in around using the Ranger TH ink blower tool. As needed I dropped in more blending solution help the inks move.

Here is the finished AI background. I love how this ended up looking like a nighttime sky.

Here I dusted the background with an anti-static pouch tool. I like to do this when I have sticky spots on an AI background.

Now let’s lift some ink! Here I am adding some lift ink to the music stamp from CMS358 music and Advert.

The using good firm pressure I stamped the image. Below you can see some of the ink has lifted with the initial stamping.

Now the magic, with a paper towel I gently dab off the ink.

Once all the ink that can be lifted is dabbed off I then lightly burnish the remaining ink off with a clean paper towel.

Now it is time to assemble the card. I decided to make this a layered card. On the base I have a scrap piece of black AI cardstock cut at 5.5x4.25, then a layer of metallic silver cardstock cut at 5x3.75in.
