Congratulations.....

I have been having fun playing with Alcohol Inks....

This is my card......

I started with die cutting a circle, to use as a mask 

and then stamping around it using splat stamps, 

in a couple of shades of light grey.

I also did free hand splats with silver metallic paint...which I loved.

The gown has been stamped onto one of my Alcohol ink backgrounds

 and fussy cut.

I normally don't do fussy cutting, as I like to work out how to do it 

as one layer but with the inks I was stuck.

 The gorgeous stamp, which I've not used before,
 is from The Ton and also includes the delicate lace stamp, 

which goes at the bottom of the dress 

but I stamped it just inside the circle as if it was a hanging flower/vine.

I wanted to show the gorgeous effect of the inks in this photo.

Once I started I couldn't stop and have lots now for future projects.

I wanted to show how fabulous the gold ink is, in this photo.

I have used all Ranger Alcohol Inks but the gold is from Patina and is stunning.

It moves like liquid gold when you use the blending solution on it.

Karen D of Snippets was using Pinata Alcohol inks and of course I had to have some!

I finished with stamping the sentiment, also in the stamp set, the tiny flower

and silver washi tape down the side.

I actually made a flower from shrink plastic for her hair but it was still too big!

I loved playing with the alcohol inks. 

The colours themselves re-acted differently, which surprised me

and of course on different glossy card, yupo etc.

Stained fingers and loved it!
