So day 5 is all about alcohol inks and yupo paper and OMGoodness what fun I have had with these. Luckily I own lots of both so I had some great play time. I have played with Yupo a while ago..if you missed that post have a look here
For my first piece of homework I chose the alcohol ink stamped resist technique.
I chose some lovely sunny colours as it has been such a glorious sunny weekend. First I made a background
I chose the corner floral stamp from this set
and once I had used Tim's technique it looked like this...amazing how my stamp created the resist, almost a ghostly shadow.
So then it was time to put on my creative hat to do a "Jane's Journal and make my piece into a card.........I think these sunny photos from my holiday played a part.
So this is what I made, I just added this gorgeous MB frame and a simple TH sentiment on a Spellbinders element.
I really do love playing with Yupo and alcohol inks...I think this is my favourite day so far....there is only Day 6 left now.
I would also like to link my card up to the following challenges;
That's Crafty 1/3 zesty zing
Pixie's snippets playground #241 I used a snippet of card for my spellbinder element.

Time Out holidays with optional twist of no stamping mine is hot summer holidays, walking out in the country in the sunshine...bliss. There is no stamping on my card so I got the twist too!
