Step 1: Gather all the supplies. 

Step 2: On a piece of clear Dura Lar, sprinkle a generous amount of Alcohol Blending Solution. 

Step 3: Drop Snowcap Mixative along the top of Dura Lar on an angle from the upper right corner down to the middle left so it looks like the edge of a wave. Then below the Snowcap add Electric Neon on the bottom two-thirds of the Dura Lar and add Aqua in the middle and Aquamarine along the bottom.  

Step 4: Use the Alcohol Blower to blow the Snowcap ink up and let it thin and fan out like waves do on the sand. Then blow some of the snow cap down into the inks to mix with the Neon and the inks. Continue to blow the inks up toward the Snowcap and off each edge to make it look like waves coming in to shore. When you achieve the look you want, allow it to dry. 

Step 5: Fill a Distress Sprayer with some Isopropyl Alcohol. Spray the alcohol in drops onto the ocean scape. This will cause the drops of alcohol to react with the Alcohol products and make the waves look a little bit foamy. 

Step 6: Here you can see how the drops of Isopropyl Alcohol reacted with the inks and how it looks more realistic like a sea shore. 

Step 7: On a piece of Distress Woodgrain Cardstock, spray some Lost Shadow Distress Stain. Dry. Then rub a Pumice Stone Distress Ink pad over the raised wood grain and dry. 

Step 8: Cut and score a piece of Distress Kraft Heavystock into a 5x7 card base. Trim the Dura Lar Ocean scene to 4 5/8 x 6 5/8. Apply adhesive along the outer edges of the Dura Lar, then attach to the front of the card base. Trim the Woodgrain to 3/8” strips, ink the edges with Scorched Timber Distress Ink and attach across the edges of the Dura Lar forming a wood frame and covering the adhesive under the Dura Lar.  

Step 9: Trim the wood strips hanging off the edges of the card, then ink the edges of the card base.  

Step 10: Stamp a sentiment like the one from Just Thoughts, in Ground Espresso Archival onto a small piece of Distress Heavystock, trim it close and attach to a very thin Kraft mat. Attach to the bottom of the card. 

Poke holes in the corners of the woodgrain frame and attach some tiny brads or fasteners if desired. 

Thank you so much for following along with the tutorial today. I hope you found it inspiring and achievable, especially if you are an Alcohol product novice like I am. Have fun experimenting!
