Alcohol Ink and Acetate - PPF

I found some sheets of acetate in my husband's old papers and decided
to try alcohol inks on them. This turned out so pretty, I think.

Next I used a sponge and leftover alcohol inks and I blotted all over
a sheet of computer paper, adding a bit of gold. I did a bit of stamping so I had 
an overall design.  I overlaid an acetate sheet on top of this, creating a 
shiny surface.  I made a card or two using the acetate/paper combination.
This is my entry for Paint Party Friday

    That lovely ink bouquet on acetate paper is really beautiful. Good idea to use the left over ink and create some wonderful background papers. Nice work, Faye!

    This looks such an interesting and effective technique with the inks, the colours make a vibrant abstract on the acetate - I've done this with acrylics but the inks give a much looser and nicer effect. And your stamped/acetate card looks good too.

    I will use your idea of the sponge. How cute is this! These days I saw a card, I can't remember where, who used, instead of sponge, a flower. It was beautiful!
