Hello and so happy you stopped by.
I'm trying out a new-to-me technique called
Alcohol Marker Marbling
(the link takes you to Splitcoast Stampers)
This is a very simple technique using alcohol based markers like Copics.
Here is what I did to create my card.
I took a plastic sandwich bag and coloured onto it with my Copic markers in purple and blues.
I then sprayed it with a good amount of rubbing alcohol and then dabbed my photo paper into the wet ink. I was left with a lovely, unique looking bkg.
The piece dried very quickly, so I placed it into my Misti and stamped the thistles and the sentiment.
Pretty simple CAS card.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
Have a great weekend.

Fun and effective technique with wonderful colours. The silhouette stamping looks great against it. Fabulous card and thank you for the link X
Your sentiment is perfect for your artsy background and stamped thistle. Looks like a fun and easy technique. TFS Karen.
Sounds like a great simple way to do an interesting background. And a good way to use those Copic markers I rarely use! Love your colours and the thistle stamps.
What a lovely card!
It's simply stunning, Karen!
Forgot to say, thank you for introducing me to another fantastic technique. Will have to try this soon!
This looks fun I must give it a try, and love the colours you have used Karen, and your teasels look great over the top. x
Gorgeous colors on the background and another wonderful card design.
Beautiful Karen, I love your thistle against your AI background. I have to try this one :)
LOVE the colours of your alcohol marker background Karen. Such a fun sounding technique. Of course, I'm in love with this thistle, so think it's absolutely perfect on every card you use it on. xx
WOW, beautiful creation Karen! Thank you for sharing with us over at The Creative Crafters. We hope to see you again.

I had to sit right down and try it, Karen. It didn't turn out quite as good as yours but it's a fun and easy technique.
