A little more alcohol...

Good afternoon!
It is an absolutely lovely day here, warm and sunny - not the rain that was predicted (although that may still happen later)
Today's card is one from the last Clarity show on Hochanda, and it is another one done with alcohol inks.  I have to confess that this one did not go as planned and a bit of rethinking was necessary!

The plan was to have a large piece in the middle and for the pieces either side to gradually get smaller and slightly darker in colour - sadly I messed up the stamping on one of the pieces, so a new layout was born!

Basically, I used a piece of the Clarity Chromo card and added blues and green and a touch of gold alcohol inks, wait for the ink to dry, then stamp and emboss, cut all the bits out and arrange on the base card.  It looks like I added some ink to the base card too - it was probably a bit too white!  add some gems to finish.

The stamps I used are all from the Hummingbird Set, which is a lovely set of stamps.
have a wonderful day,
Janet xx
