More Alcohol Inks on Yupo

Meet today's card.
Another one using Alcohol inks on Yupo paper. 
Got some new Pinata A inks to play with and this new tree line die by Tim Holtz and wanted to use it to make a simple card.
On yesterday's card I used the same technique but different colours.  I made sure to add some gold Pinata ink into this one before I covered the piece with plastic wrap.  It reminded me of the sun shining through.
The key to this technique is to let the inks totally dry before removing the plastic wrap. 

I die cut the trees using my Cuttlebug and glued it over the background.
The sentiment is from a Gina K set.

I played last night using your AI and plastic wrap technique Karen. I used very different colors, but loved the results. Always fun to have pre-made backgrounds for future projects. I LOVE this new gorgeous background with your new die cut trees. TFS and always inspiring us my friend. Hugs. Nancy

That background is so interesting! The more you stare at it the more you feel like you see different designs in it. It has depth too but also looks flattened. So interesting and really makes that treeline pop.

Wow - that background is stunning! Love the white trees against it. How long does it take those inks to dry? Thanks for playing along with CASology this week!
