Don't drop with shock but yes, I'm posting again! It's been a long time since I've been able to get on a roll like this so fingers, toes & everything else crossed that my back stays good!
I finally got my hands on a pad of Yupo paper to play around with my long-neglected alcohol inks. I love alcohol inks a lot but was always a little bit disappointed how the colours had a tendency to fade on gloss card. None of that with Yupo! The colours stay so beautifully intense & vibrant making it a delight to work with.
I love this colour combination so much! I started out playing with various colours but this was my favourite piece out of all of them. The question was what to do with it as I was very reluctant to cut it up in case I couldn't replicate so I decided to keep it whole. Using SSS Stitched Rectangles I die cut a panel from white card & again from the alcohol ink piece & inlaid into the white frame. The PTI celebrate die-cut was sent to me by a friend (thanks Anita!) & was liberally coated in Wink of Stella.
It was finished with words from a W&W set stamped with Versamark & embossed with Wow opaque Bright White on black card.
I am entering into the following challenges -
