Alcohol Ink Background

My watery, bubbly background was created by dripping different shades of blue alcohol ink onto glossy card. A quick spritz of isopropyl alcohol or blending solution before the colour is applied allows the ink to move around a little more freely. I heat embossed the goldfish onto a piece of translucent paper, similar in look to vellum, then die cut around each one.

    Hello Beccy! Lovely shades of blue!
    I hope you are far of the fire I heard about. There are all sorts of horror news.
    Seems to be a very bad situation. Are you ok?
    Good wishes to you and to all people in need in these moments.
    Hugs, Suzana.

      Thank you so much for your concern Suzana, I really appreciate it. Yes, we are safe, most of the fires are far south of us.
      Cheers,
      Beccy xx
