Week 15 for the
Compendium of Curiosities Challenge and this week it is Alcohol Ink Agate on Grunge. I used a Pearl Ink Dabber on grungeboard, Stream and Wild Plum inks with Pearl Mixative. I really like the result of this technique, it is one of my favourites so far. Because I am making a technique book, I did not want to put too much onto this, so I stamped a couple of times with StazOn Midnight Blue and added a vellum piece and this lovely quote from Mother Theresa.
Many thanks to Linda Ledbetter at
Studio L3 who is hosting the challenge - it is certainly getting me to reach into my cupboards and pull out things that are collecting dust! Hop over to Linda's blog, Studio L3, to see some amazing art and dust off your inks and join in, its not too late! Have a great day - Cheers!
