Green Giraffe with fun background

I've had a lot of questions on how I did this card so thought I would put instructions here for everyone to see.

Adirondack Meadow ink pad
Ranger Alcohol inks – stream, butterscotch & eggplant

instructions:
1. Tape Aluminum Foil sticky back tape to a piece of 4 x 5 1/4” cardstock. Any color will work because you will not see cardstock.
2. Color the Aluminum Foil tape with Ranger alcohol inks using the applicator with a piece of felt attached to it. Squirt a couple of drops of each color of alcohol inks onto the applicator. Tap applicator all over the Aluminum Foil tape. When you have desired amount of ink on tape blend the colors with a little bit of blending solution on the same applicator. This is called Polish Stone technique.
3. Place colored silver card in Cuttlebug mosaic embossing folder and run it through machine to form the dry embossed mosaic look.
