To create this card, I used a combination of alcohol inks, distress inks, and dies. I can tell that I’m really going to like the Tim Holtz Mixed Media set that I recently added to my stash! This was my first attempt at flicking water, from my hand, onto distress inks. I might have flicked too much! 🙂
