For Grungy Monday Challenge #13 the challenge involves alcohol inks - FAVORITES of mine! Be sure to check out the video on the Ranger site HERE where Tim Holtz demos alcohol inks. You'll notice that this post is listed as part 1 - that's because I had so much fun playing with my alcohol inks that I made 2 completely different projects - I find playing with alcohol inks to be all consuming and it's hard to stop :-). For project 1, this collage is done on stampbord, so not only do you get a non-porous surface for brilliant color of the inks, but you can scratch away parts revealing the white clay as I've done after stamping a swirl stamp. It gives such a great background for the collage of a vintage image (Enchanted Mercantile) with rolled paper flowers, book text leaves and text strips.

WOW! great technique. I love the blue alcohol ink background. And this is the first time I see the "scratching" technique for the swirls. Thanks for sharing! Your card is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Love the idea of using the stampbord, brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThis challenge was a lot of fun wasn't it? Your projects are very beautiful.
ReplyDeletePenny, I love the colors in your piece with the stampboard. I don't know what it is, but I think I need some now. Very cool and dreamy.
ReplyDeleteA sublime image creates the focal for sublime art. I like the etched swirls on the Stampbord and the flowers are gorgeous.
