We've got a great new challenge for you at Fusion. The purple night theme put me in mind of a Halloween card so that is what I made.
Don't adjust your set, folks, I really did use purple on my card. But well-documented here, photography is not in my skillset, so no matter what I tried my picture came out looking blue.
I don't often have the time to get adventurous with my cards but wanted to try my hand at some alcohol inks for this moody theme. It had been so long since I used mine I had to refresh my memory on how to use them by watching a few videos on YouTube! Apparently I need to add 90% alcohol to my stash to get those color to swish around, but since the pandemic that is in short supply so I had to rely on Ranger blending solution. I added some silver mixative to make things interesting and used a straw to blow all the colors around my paper.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you can join us at Fusion. Our design team has created some amazing cards to inspire you!

Well I think your inky mix is wonderful! Love this! The only time I used alcohol inks is when we were in Cape Cod! Seems like ages ago!
