We have gone from a heat index of 110 yesterday to 73 degrees today. I'm so thankful since my AC went out last night. They came and fixed it today but now I don't need it! Isn't that always the way.
This is a card for the casmixup challenge using the alcohol ink lift. I had to use this stamp from Newton's Nook because it was a fun way to cool off. I used a stencil called Under the Sea from SSS and this is where it gets unorthodox. After I smoothed three colors of alcohol inks on yupo paper I realized that if I lifted ink from the openings in this stencil I would only have blue lines left. So I put the blending solution on the stencil itself. I laid the stencil over the yupo paper and used a paper towel to rub the color off. It still isn't really what I wanted but there are kinda of waves. I colored the fussy cut image with Copics and stamped the sentiment with Staz On ink. Last, I added some Nuvo crystal glaze to the splash. I love punny stamps so much.
Be kind to one another.

Fabulous and funny card. Love it. We are set to be very hot here tomorrow in the uk and then again on Thursday. I had the dentist today and it was nice and cool sat in his chair. Needed X-rays taken which was a bit uncomfortable but at least it took my mind off my frozen shoulder for a bit. Hugs Mrs A.
Look at you creating a new technique! It worked great, Brenda! It definitely looks like soothing cooling waves, just perfect for that punny goat!! Hugs, Darnell

very creative using the back of your stencil to lift the colour, I hope you did it in big room with lots of air flow.
I love your seascape and that adorable goat and funny sentiment :)
Brenda, I'm glad it's cooled down a little for you.
Great work with removing colouring using Blending solution on the stencil, Brenda. Love the look of your waves. And what a cute image and perfect sentiment! Made me laugh! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up! xx
This is a fun card. I wish I had a pool to swim in. The weather has been horrible. I hate the heat! So happy that today was cooler. I was able to get into my craft room today. Thoroughly enjoyed playing today. I love your beautiful water. I haven't tried to lift color yet. I think it would take some practice. Yours looks great!
O Brenda, what a lovely background you've achieved with this technique! Super cute card with amazing motif and design. I like it. :-)
Enjoy the break from the heat!
Hugs, Sonja
That was a brilliant way to make waves, my friend! And the floating goat is such fun as well as the sentiment! Thanks for brightening my morning with a chuckle and sharing at CAS Mix Up! Hope that cool air finds it's way to NC!
Wonderful AI lifting job to create this refreshing punny card. That floating goat is adorable. xx
This is so cute and fun and I love the punny sentiment! Never seen a floating goat before :)
What a cute card and sure to bring smiles. I love that goat floating in your water which by the way I think looks perfect. I love this card.
Oh my gosh this is priceless! I am captivated by the fabulous job you did to create water! That is so creative and impressive. Love that sentiment too!
Such a great way to lift the alcohol inks and your card is fun and fabulous. Thank you for joining in The CAS Mix Up gallery x
Brenda, your waves look amazing! It's just the perfect subtle effect! Now that goat - he's hilarious! I love him! That's probably what people are saying in their head when we tell them we're card makers.
A sweet card Brenda, a cute image and your waves look fabulous.

The water looks wonderful and I love that hilarious sentiment with that fun goat image! Well done - stay cool!
It is nice to have a break from this heat isn't it Brenda! I am thankful for it, although for us the 90's will be back on Sun, Mon, and Tues. But that's ok, cause I think we are to go back to more seasonal temps. 88 for the weekend. I can live with that after the feel like temps were 110. Your card is amazing! Your water looks just like it has ripples and movement in it. I love the way it came out and I love your little goat relaxing in his float. lol The sentiment is one we use all the time, it makes a great sentiment. Hugs, Brenda
The water looks fabulous, Brenda--so clever! Glad you got a break from the heat & good the AC is fixed since summer isn't over!
Oh, what a cute fun card! And, I do love how you made the waves, so awesome... looks real! And, the goat is too cute! Happy to hear that your AC was fixed! It’s going to be a hot one here today! I ‘m hoping for some rain tomorrow.
