Steampunk Hello

Hi there, Alicia  with you today.  I created a rainbowish background with Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks and Tim Holtz Yupo Paper.  I had so much fun playing with the inks.  I used a straw to blow around the inks.  I let most of the alcohol dry then burnished some scrap foil over the piece.  

Foil stays on the wet area usually where the ink puddles.  

I used metallic paper to die cut the steampunk butterfly and gears.  I added various gems to the center of the gears.  You can really see the burnished foil in this photo.

I used a double stitched rectangle die to create a frame from black glossy card stock for a real pop.
