Alcohol inks


Having watched Tim Holtz with DB the other week, and my trip to the Make it show where I saw real life demos, I thought I really should have another go at using my Alcohol inks, I've never really got on with them very well, always seem to end up with a muddy mess, probably because I use too many colours at once!!!!!! Should really learn that less is more I guess.
I had also treated myself to a pack with the gold and silver inks s have added a little of the gold to the background, although it doesn't show on here which is a shame because in the right light the background looks very pretty with the twinkling gold. Of course I've used those new stamps I brought too and a script background stamp in the corners. I have to admit to being rather pleased with this one, so much so that I've made a couple more too as I have lots of birthdays to get ready for over the next two months.
