Double CCC !

This card uses Tim Holtz's techniques: The blended batik method with distress inks (this week's CC # 11) AND the monoprint method with alcohol inks on glossy cardstock (CC #3). The CCC is the Compendium of Cusiosities Challenge hosted by Linda. I joined in at challenge #7 so I did #3 as a catch-up.
Used: Distress Inks: Milled Lavender and Dusty Concord; Archival black ink; Alcohol inks: Nature Walk trio; Stamps: Tim Holtz 'Flights of Fancy' and 'Urban Grunge', sentiment from Compagnie des elfes; Paper: Ranger glossy cardstock, lilac card, silver mirror card, purple card blank; clear embossing ink and powder.

  2. Karen, this is a stunning way to combine two techniques! Not only did you do a beautiful job on the blended batik, you aced the alcohol inks, too. This is so pretty-- the colors are perfect together, and the design is so well thought out!
