Alcohol Ink Serendipity

Having watched Andy Skinner’s alcohol ink floating background tutorial I got out my AI’s and had a go and these three pieces were my favourite using this technique. They make me think of a country cottage with chintz curtains and a jug of wildflowers on the table.

Using the pieces to make a tag and a card I wanted the backgrounds to be the star of the show, so have kept the embellishment simple. I’m entering the card in the Craft Barn Alcohol Ink Challenge – this will be the first blog challenge I’ve ever entered.
