Alcohol Inking

... is the theme over at the artful times challenge blog.
Here is my version:


The background was made with the 'alcohol ink floating' background technique Andy Skinner shows in this video. Then I stamped the grass (T.H.) three times with various ink intensity. The boy (adhered with 3 D dots), the birds and the branches are by Art Jorney, the butterfly is a die by T.H., cut from a gelli plate print, stamped over with a script stamp (also T.H.). The hope script stamp is by lost coast design.
Lets hope for spring to arrive ;o)
Oh, the little car (T.H. again) arrived just in time today for the boy to play with ...

---------

Hintergrund: 'alcohol ink floating' Technik. Verschiedene Stempel, der Junge von Art Journey ist mit Abstandsklebern aufgeklebt. Der Schmetterling ist ausgestanzt aus einem weiteren Gelli-Plate-Druck.

Thanks for having a look.
Hugs, Suzanne xxx

  1. You do that alcohol technique so well Suzanne, I have tried it many times but have given up on this challenge as I cannot get it to look right - I know I should keep trying...... Love your card, the over stamping looks wonderful and the butterfly is beautiful. Hugs, Anne x
