TLC750 = Out of your Comfort Zone - use some kind of colouring medium without an image on a small-sized panel
I took a small piece of black mirror cs and used alcohol inks on it. I added a drop of white to the centre and blew it outwards with canned air, then repeated several times, turning the cs each time to get it to go out in each direction. Then I repeated with a few drops of dusty pink alcohol ink on top of the white. I ended up with this beautiful abstract pattern that is somewhat flower-like (maybe a peony?).
I framed it with a narrow border of matching dusty pink cs and then a deckle-edged rectangle on which I stamped the sentiment.
This was definitely out of my comfort zone, but was a lot of fun!

I KNEW I should have gone with blown alcohol inks - but then again I LOVE doing those! I have never tried this on black before and must say I love the way the colors turned out - It gives all your colors such a lovely sheer look. You should be VERY proud of this piece!

I wondered about using alcohol ink and air. It wouldn't have been anywhere near as beautiful as this. It makes me think of photos of underwater plants or some sort of organism, floating in the water.
