Hello friends.
I thought I would experiment today with the challenge colors. I usually dont do a lot of alcohol ink crafts on photo paper BUT for some reason ....today I felt like I needed to challenge myself lol. Yikes...Im telling you..it was hard. You go to color and its like ...color on...color off. I felt like I was in the karate kid movie with mr. Miyagi watching me laughing. Blending on photo paper lesson...check lol.
I love the color scheme this week. The color sub for soft sea foam was used as grass which you are unable to see under the vellum and sentiment...but its there.
I started out with really light pink and then progressed to a darker shade to distract you from everything else. I am laughing so hard...it truly was hilarious. Real life crafting at its best.
I hope you all are enjoying your day and are kind to yourselves when the roll of the dice lands on snake eyes in a scrabble game lol. God bless and keep safe .

You are a lot braver than me with alcohol inks - and no, you did not distract me with the darker pink - I see an adorably colored gnome sitting under a mushroom cap! Love the sprinkling of hearts, too!

This is a wonderful creation and it doesn’t look like you struggled one bit! I get you with unfamiliar things. I just bought alcohol markers and am learning.

So cute! Adorable image. Sounds like you had a lot of fun & laughter experimenting with this one. I have had my share of laughing at my own attempts, too. Thanks for sharing your card today. Paper hugs are the best!
