For this card I used a piece of alcohol ink background that I previously made using the smooshing technique (see below). I stamped the giraffe on card stock with VersaMark, embossed image, and then used the markers to add colour to the image to bring out the tones in the alcohol ink background.
* Alcohol Ink Smooshing can be done on glossy white paper or SU Whisper White. For smooshing you lay out the non-stick craft sheet, add a BIT of the metal mixative (it goes a long way), add your alcohol ink (2-5 colours), and add blending solution. Place your paper face down onto the mixture and twist and lift off. You can smoosh the same piece again or use another piece by adding more Blending Solution. The more times you reuse by adding blending solution the lighter and softer the effect.
