I love the incredibly rich colors and the depth of color that you can get with alcohol inks. I use the felt applicator and, for this leaf, added 6 drops of Latte alcohol ink, 2 drops of Sunset Orange, 2 of Oregano, 2 of Sunshine Yellow. Then I just smooshed it around on some glossy paper until I liked the color mix.
- Stamps: Rubbernecker leaf swirl, Savvy sentiment
- Paper: Stampin' Up Crumb Cake, Papertrey Fine Linen, misc glossy white
- Ink: Staz-On Timber Brown, Alcohol Inks in Latte, Sunset Orange, Oregano and Sunshine Yellow.
- Accessories: Leaf #2 die (from Sizzix or Stampin' Up), misc twill
