Alcohol and...


a straw! Nothing nicer that an ice cool drink in this summer weather (though dare I say it has just started to pour with rain here, not that that would stop me of course...LOL!). But that is not what I used on my card, I am talking alcohol inks, glossy card and a straw to create a background.



I used ideas from my Little Things workshop to this time make a card. This card was created for the Freshly Made Sketches and One Stop Craft challenge of flowers and ribbon.
