I don't have a lot of alcohol inks so I altered the technique. I took an acetate folder and took markers and drew on the folder. I sprayed them with water. Then I used the straw to blow the puddles of marker water around and then smashed the cardstock onto the folder. I love how the background turned out. The birdcage is a Mark's Finest Papers set called Birdcages. It is a new release. Mark's Finest Papers is having their blog hop this week to showcase all the new sets.

Beautiful card! Every element of it is beautiful - especially the colors you used in the background and the result you got with your altered technique. Great success on this challenge!
