I don't know about you, but this hurricane season is driving me to DRINK! Hurricane season is just part of the territory in the fall if you live on the gulf or the East coast, and the hurricane party was definitely part of our lives every fall in the part of Texas I grew up in. But this year - OUCH.
So we are going to start THIS party with alcohol.
Your challenge is to create a project using any tutorial featuring alcohol from the tutorials section, including TODAY'S Falliday Fest tutorial. Please link to the tutorial you used in your project description.
Have fun - and CHEERS!
We do have a tutorial in the tutorials section for today's technique here.
I can't wait to see what you do!

I used glossy white cardstock and the Polished Stone technique for my card. I, unfortunately, needed a sympathy card. Much of my ancestry is Irish, so the "Get Drunk" theme wasn't foreign to a sympathy card. Have you ever been to an Irish wake? Here's my card:
The Alcohol Ink technique was one of the very first techniques I fell in love with many years ago ... I had so much fun revisiting it today (this time with Yupo paper).
One from me, I am considering the hmm forgot its name the tissue paper alcohol ink one I read about but, I have a piece of tissue paper out that I used as a blotter on my mat making the ornament background earlier... so, I have to go read that one again sometime to see if that would make a difference or not. #cleandeskproblems :mrgreen:
What ink can you use to stamp on the background? I've used VersaMark and VersaFine and both are smudging when I handle it to put it on my card. :(. And they faded when I use the heat gun to set the ink that way.
I had fun, fun, fun! Thanks so much Lydia for a great way to begin Falliday Fest. Love the title of your challenge. Get Drunk! I don't drink and I still managed to make a mess. Oh well...
