LeNae softened the bold ink colors by mixing them with rubbing alcohol, then applied them to a glossy cardstock mat and white brads for a cool, watery effect on this beach page.

1. Mix a few drops of rubbing alcohol with a few drops of Bottle and Denim alcohol inks in two different wells on your palette. Use the applicator to pull the inks across a 5"x7" piece of glossy cardstock (glossy side up), with the Bottle ink at the top and Denim at the bottom, blending in the middle; let dry.
2. Hold a big white brad by the prongs and use the applicator to tap some of the ink colors to the top of the brad. Repeat with two white embossed brads. Let dry.
3. Place the tan/floral border paper with the border at the bottom. Wrap lavender sheer ribbon around the bottom of a vertical photo and knot the tails together on the front right side of the photo. Mat on blue glimmer paper, then glue over the inked cardstock. Mat the cardstock on lavender glimmer, then glue the photo on the left side of the page.
4. Double-mat a small photo on blue, then lavender glimmer and glue in the top left corner of the page. Add the “play” rub-on to the inked white big brad. Layer a small lavender silk flower on top of a large lavender flower and attach them in the bottom corner of the photo with the big brad.
5. Computer journal onto white cardstock and crop to two strips. Mat each strip on lavender glimmer, leaving a larger left edge on each mat. Add the inked embossed brads to the large mat edges, then glue the journaling below the small photo. Use a Zot™ to attach a sheer lavender bow along the top right edge of the background paper's border.
