Here's the mood board for the challenge:
To make my card, I squirted a few drops of three colours of alcohol inks (Wild Plum, Sunbright Yellow, Tangerine) onto a piece of Photo Paper. I added blending solution to get the inks to flow. I then used an Air Blower (or Puffer as I call it) to move the inks around. Once dry, I stamped the main image and sentiment (Gratitude - Penny Black) with black ink and heat embossed in clear.

ReplyDeleteOh Loll, this is just stunning. I love everything about it. I have discovered that glossy photo paper is good for a lot of things and it takes foiling really well xx

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous Loll!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect background for your butterfly image. I think your background could be fantastic on a Halloween card too!
ReplyDeleteRight now I am addicted to Art Impression stamps and water painting them with Tombow markers. The results make me feel as if I am really talented!!
My next journey will be to use alcohol inks -- Love your card Loll!!

When I looked at this card, bright flames seemed to spring from underneath. This yellow color looks really amazing among the other colors. The butterfly silhouette is made for this background.
