Grungy Monday 13 - Alcohol inks

Hi there
Back again!
Over at Studio L3 it's Time to re-visit Alcohol inks with Tim. Check the video from Tim HERE and check out Linda's blog HERE for all the Grungy Monday details.

I pretty much followed the technique on the video to do my tag......
I used Juniper, Sandal, Purple Twilight and caramel ink and gold mixative to do the background onto gloss card. I overstamped with the harlequin stamp from the mini muse stamp set in dusty concord distress ink.
I cut two strips of copper finish sheet (Mine is actually plastic!), embossed one and used the same inks to colour.
Stamped the umbrella man in black on the copper and cut out, added the sentiment and a bit of chain and tag to finish.

Be blessed in your creative journey today.
