Over at the Pollycraft Monday Challenge the topic this week is "autumn colours". I have had this image coloured in with Promarkers and Copics for months and months but she's not made her way onto a card - that is until now. I have used a harlequin/diamond piece of scrap paper and tore another scrap of dotty paper to go on the bottom as I didn't like seeing the image legs just cut off. Instead she's hiding behind the birthday banner. The other piece of backing paper I made using some glossy card and alcohol inks. I went over the whole piece of card with yellow and brown, then sprinkled in a tiny amount of mica and then used the alcohol ink blending solution in drops to get the circular effect and then added brown alcohol ink on top to get a sort-of tie-dyed effect. I have used alcohol inks before by dabbing a few colours onto card - I thought I'd take it a bit further this time with the mica and blending solution. I quite like the effect. The card is simply finished off with a handmade flower (shapes cut out with my Cricut and then distressed with Fired Brick and Spiced Marmalade Tim Holtz Distress Ink and then finished off with a cord texture brad), peel-offs and diamond gems.
