A New Journey

It has been almost over 18 months since I have posted...so happy to have inky fingers again!  I was inspired by Julia Alston's card over at CAS Mix Up Card Challenge and a featured video by tjaniga featuring stamping, tissue paper, and alcohol ink.  A co-worker is headed off on a new adventure and I made this card to wish him well.  I love the vibrant colors of alcohol ink and the pairing of tissue paper with an embossed stamped imaged.




 I embossed the compass stamp from Tim Holtz's Classics #1 on acetate in gold as instructed in Tjaniga's video.  I used Botanical, Mariner, and Indigo alcohol inks for the tissue paper background. The sentiment from Tim Holtz's Classics #16 was stamped in Ranger Forget Me Not ink and again in Ranger Cobalt in to make it pop.

 I would like to enter my card in the CAS Mix Up Card Challenge.


That's all for now...thanks for stopping by :) Kim
