How to Color Glitter Cardstock with Alcohol Inks

I started with a piece of Dazzling Diamond Glitter Cardstock and used alcohol inks to change the color.

I used Wisteria, Dew Drops, and Pink Diamond Alcohol Inks but you can use any colors that you wish.

I left this to dry a little before cutting out the solid butterfly layers from Mix & Match Mariposa Die Set from it. For the detailed butterfly layers, I used Brushed Gold Glitter Cardstock. I used some very strong adhesive to adhere these pieces together.

To mute the background a little, I added a piece of vellum before adding the butterflies. To add a little more interest and color, I added a few enamel dots.Coloring Glitter Cardstock with Alcohol InksTo see how this card came together please check out the video below or over on YouTube:
