This card is for the following:
Yesterday's CC: I used a Ranger dark red, rose gold mixative and rainbow (Marabu) alcohol inks. The horizontal piece is the rococo rose direct to paper on white. My neutral is the old espresso. The stencil I used has heart gem stones.
Today's SC: nice sketch, I like the larger pieces best, works well for my techniques.
Yesterday's tea party for Dorothy: I chose to do a technique with three ingredients (not including tools, like the gel plate and brayer). Drop some alcohol ink onto the gel plate (don't be shy, use a fair amount), brayer it out. Put on a stencil after a few moments of drying and add another color or two of ai and brayer that out, trying to get it into the openings of the stencil. Remove the stencil, let it dry a bit, then brayer on a light colored acrylic and pull a print. Besides vanilla and bordeaux Marabu ai, I also added some Marabu rainbow and TH rose gold mixative. The panel has a nice sheen to it. You could try a secondary print by adding a little more acrylic but it doesn't pull much. The ai adds some surprise to the whole thing, you don't quite know what you'll get. I like that!
I hope I didn't break the rules, not including the tools.

This is a feast for the eyes and the perfect blend of colors for the color challenge in a grunged mixed media way. I LOVE it! Thanks for describing your process...you have inspired me to get out the plate....the one edge rounded is a nice touch. Into the favs, of course.
