The Compendium of Curiosities Challenge - Week Three

 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.

Stencil Indentification Update

OK, I now see that this is an Asian lantern.  And Carol's Crafts was the first to post that, so she is the winner.  Carol, if you get me your mailing info I'll get your prize right out to you.

After reading all the comments,  I decided that I had to have another winner.  Linda, you have a unique and wonderful way of looking at the world (or at least at a stencil).  Your guess as to the identity of said stencil is a tribute to the ability of the human mind to make up stuff.

Check out Linda's comment on my Road Trip posting and see what I mean.

So, Linda, you too need to send me your mailing info.

Thanks everyone for stopping by and leaving a comment.
