In this monthly challenge you will see cards or projects that will make a mess, a hot mess of work spaces, fingers, clothes and anything I touch! But from the "hot mess" comes success, a beautiful creation to share with you!

We usually post on the 2nd Monday of the month, but the others had another commitment last Monday, so we pushed it off another week.
For this challenge, I pulled out my Alcohol Inks....all 4 of them, LOL! Following some YouTube videos I rounded up my supplies of Yupo paper, alcohol inks, alcohol ink blending solution, alcohol ink lift pad, a stamp set from SSS and a drinking straw. From there I got to work.
I made my background with the alcohol inks and bending solution by dropping ink onto the Yupo paper and blowing it around with the drinking straw. After it dried, I took the stamp and applied the alcohol ink lift solution and stamped the alcohol inked background. You are then supposed to be able to stamp again on regular cardstock and transfer the ink you picked up, but that did not work for me. Maybe next time.
Here is my card....I actually love the way this turned out.
Thank you for stopping by!

I love your card Terry. I too need to try to use the straw technique to move ink around and I have the ink to use too. You inspired me!
ReplyDeleteTerry, you are soooo creative! This looks fabulous! I love the way you blended the alcohol inks, with a straw. WOW! I might have to try that sometime.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous card Terry - love your 'hot mess' and the resulting card - well done
