Melissa's challenge was to use alcohol inks, and it gave me the perfect excuse to try this. I got the idea from a Facebook page where someone used what she said was the aluminum covering the opening of a jar of coffee, I think. Whatever it was, I don't use jarred coffee, but then I noticed some of the teabags I have are individually wrapped in a foil-lined little envelope. Once I opened the packet and cut the crimped edges off, I had a nice little strip of foil to work with. (It's much stronger than your basic kitchen foil, I think) I embossed it, dropped some alcohol inks on it, then added some blender and moved the paper around to get some movement and blending. It was really fast and easy, and it looks pretty cool. Mounted it on purple and put a white die-cut floral on top. Then I had to find a sentiment that fit in the corner.

Wow! This turned out beautifully! Love the EF you used for this vibrant AI bg and that pretty wildflower diecut looks fabulous against it! Kudos for recycling.
