Alcohol Ink Monoprints
We were instructed to turn to page 51 in Tim's book, and have at it. Well, I just cut up the paper we're to use and made a whole bunch of samples. First I did some monochromatic ones.
Then I just started using some colors randomly.
I left most of them as is for my technique book, but decided to turn one into an ATC.
The border is some paper from the Lost and Found stack, cut with Tim's scallop On The Edge die. I embossed the chipboard butterflies with some bright EPs, and wrote "fly" with an embossing pen and then used one of the same EPs on that.
This is a very cool technique that (believe it or not) I don't think I've used before. Check out Linda's blog for all the details, and join in. Still lots more prizes to be won.

Oh my, this is beautiful!!! All your monoprints look fab (isn't it fun-- you make one and suddenly you just can't stop!). I really like the way you layered the "On the Edge" diecut on top of your monoprint-- that looks great!-- and the butterfly theme is just delightful.
Thanks for sharing your talent again this week!

Love the colors you used, and your final ATC is bootiful! That paper really goes well with the ink colors.
Gorgeous atc, there is a strong summer feel to this challenge LOL
These are so lovely. The alcohol really makes the colors come alive. (Sort of like me after a few martinis!)
Love seeing all of your examples, and the finished ATC is great too!
Looks FUN, Eileen...great pieces!!
Looks like you had fun playing with a rainbow of AI's. I love what you did with that hot pink bg. Your atc turned out great.
