Challenge #26 Alcohol Inks and optional sketch

Welcome fellow crafters - Challenge 26 is under-way and for the next 2 weeks at The Stamp Man we are looking forward to seeing you use alcohol inks with an option of using the sketch shown below.

It's Brenda here and those of you who have visited my blog, will know I just love the Tim Holtz style. I have chosen this theme so that those of you who have experimented and used alcohol inks before can join in and we also hope this will be an opportunity for those of you who haven't used them to have a go and have some fun inky sessions. Jill has a wide range of inks and accessories HERE at her shop and further links can be found below with the Design Team contributions.

My teamies haven't had alot of time to get their pieces made as I have had computer problems and was late posting the deets for them - sorry guys.

So this is the sketch for you to use if you would like something to structure your work, remember it is optional, the layout is simple and you can turn it and interpret it in any way. I haven't added any embellishing I will leave that totally up to you. Just have fun and don't forget we have a prize of a £10 gift voucher for the Stamp Man shop up for grabs.

    I made a card for your challenge, but your page didn't come up, so I posted it an hour or so before your post was visible. Am I still allowed to use it, or should I make something new? :D

    This is a fun challenge and I love the cards that were made. I have a question...on some peoples blogs I wanted to leave a commment but it asks me to select profile. I can usually put in my url address but there are some that do not have this so I thought I would put in the google acct but it just keeps asking me to sign in and I can never leave thatplace..It's like Groundhog day-I have to relive it over and over. How do I leave a comment when I can't leave my url address?
