A Copper Smile

Photo Details

Poster: Kemernow

Second card for the F4A378 Winging It challenge. This is another alcohol ink and blender ink solution created flower design using a straw to guide the ink. I thought part of the color mix turned out kind of coppery so I die cut a butterfly from copper paper for my winged creature, and put dark purple candy dots on the corners. There is a bit of glare off the copper paper reflecting on the word Smile. This is a fun technique. TFL

This is fun Kandie! I have done the straw technique - not with alcohol inks but with watercolor. I really like how your card turned out. Lovely!

I love copper and you're doing a great job with the alcohol ink and straw. Gorgeous butterfly.

I love doing blown alcohol inks - but haven't pulled out my straw in some time - The copper die cut butterfly looks great against this free flowing bg.

I have never used this technique, but yours turned out so good, I may have to pull out the alcohol inks.

Very effective work with the straw, I never feel I get enough control with it. But maybe Yupo paper will give me a little extra movement time: I think you've inspired me to give it a try tomorrow.
