This is a card I made for a dear friend's birthday. She has been the queen of techniques with the philosophy of more is good (even though her style has changed since then :)---
Anyway, I had a ton of fun trying to use my Ranger alcohol inks in as many ways as I could on this. The background was ivory paper, smeared with ink then "spritzed & flicked" with water.

The photo corner and arrow were silver & copper and thanks to the inks they are now black and red! The funny square, jewel thing was an architectural stone which I inked up and covered in glaze and pressed in the jewel. The stamp is also from a set she gave me a couple of years ago. We both have a soft spot in our hearts for vintage stamps!

Then a little piercing and copper paper to mat it with and I don't think I could add one more thing! Maybe next year I will try to go more simple and clean, like her current style is!!!

Enjoy your day!

Vintage stamps are a soft spot for you, eh? :) Lovely card, I like "spritzed & flicked" technique you used on the background.
This is beautiful, love the spatter texture on the background, and the color is so rich. Awsome card!!
You did a lot on this card, but it definitely is gorgeous and looks sleak to me! It does not look cluttered. I love all of the ways you used the alcohol inks! Very nice!
Happy birthday to your friend. Great card!
:-)

This is very cool Theresa! Love when you play and get inky!
