Alcohol Inks and Plumbers Tape


The challenge over at DCM was 'Copper'. They are using different anniversaries, and this week it was the 7th anniversary - copper or wool. So I reached for my alcohol inks. This took me well outside my comfort zone, I just don't 'do' this type of card. I stuck the plumbers tape down on some white cardstock, and cut the vase from Walk in my Garden at 4", then the bleeding hearts flowers also at 4". Then I ran them through my cuttlebug, using the script folder for the vase, and paisley for the flowers. Then the messy part, playing with the alcohol inks. When I was fairly happy with the result I mounted them with dimensional tape onto a black card that I had edged with a copper krylon pen - doesn't show up at all on the photo. The end result is okay I guess, just not my style.
