This is for Lydia's fun mixed media challenge "Foiled Impressionist Collage". Lydia included a terrific instructional video.
I didn't have any craft foil so I tried foil from a chocolate wrapper and a biscuit packet, but nothing worked.
I used some ancient metallic rub on stuff and some walnut stain distress ink to add a bit more interest.
I made a happy mess making gelli plate backgrounds all afternoon- enough to last a year. I have discovered if I work really quickly, I can lift a good print using copy paper. There is something very liberating about copy paper - if you muck it up, just toss it out.
I already had this girl coloured up waiting for a home, this technique is perfect for weirdo images (did you see the bird in her hair).
She is coloured on copy paper with Prismacolour Pencils, zest it pencil blend and a few highlights of Copics were added at the end.
My acrylic paint and alcohol inks are similar colours so there isn't a lot of contrast but the texture is interesting in real life.
Thank you for looking.

Awesome technique and I am loving this card. I am glad you mentioned the bird because I was looking at hair, dress, jewelry and everything else. I surely would have zoned in on that, though. Super creation, as usual.
