Alcohol Inks And The Cloaked Lady

I think I have a new addiction!! Alcohol Inks......I just love the effect they give and the unpredictability of the final result. I decided to use them to create a background for this gorgeous image from Delicious Doodles.



Tools
Tim Holtz Blender
Sizzix Tattered Florals Die

Materials
Image - Delicious Doodles
White gloss card
DP's - Basic Grey Ambrosia
Promarkers
Alcohol Inks
Tim Holtz Distress Inks
Glimmer Mist
Leaves, button & twine from stash

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
One Stitch At A Time - Use your digis
Craftalicious - anything goes

    Hi there

    What a striking image and used beautifully.

    Agree on the alcohol inks, it's always a surprise to see what you end up with and no two are the same.

    Thank you for joining us at Stampalot Challenge this month and good luck.
