hi there,
Here is a card I made for The Flower Challenge. Our theme this month is 'a special occasion'.
I wanted to compare using photo paper to using Yupo. I found using the photo paper, I couldn't get the Alcohol inks to move at all even when I used the Blending Solution. So I took a piece of plastic wrap and used that to blot on the colour to give a more mottled looking bkg.

An amazing card, Karen. Those blues are just gorgeous. Good job with the plastic wrap.
