IÂ’m having some fun with alcohol inks and embossing. I saw a fabulous poster online and borrowed similar colors for my background.
-For better control of the inks I cut the background panel into sections, added color with alcohol inks, taped it back together and heat embossed with the CHF Weave Backgrounder using a clear powder and it has great texture without hiding the color.
-The flower image is colored with Prismacolor pencils and mineral spirits then heat embossed with two coats of clear powder; this helps brighten the color. To cut the straight line between the image lines I used a straight edge Coluzzle template then cut around the image with scissors.
-The image panel is popped up with foam squares.
I found the iris image at our local one of kind dollar store, who could pass up that dollar find! All other images are from Cornish Heritage Farms.
