As you may have noticed on my woyww pic, I have been playing with alcohol inks, I was looking through the blogs and wound up at the haunteddesignhouse this site appeals to my darker side, I love all things gothic, horror and a little bit not the norm in the crafting world. Their challenge was 'Hot as hell in here' this made me smile and I thought it would be a good way to test the inks out, after seeing Neil walkers tags from ranger u, I loved the depth and vividness. So after a little playing this is what i came up with.I like the way the inks have come out, but I did struggle with the composition.
To fit in with the challenge I needed to do something that included flames or used fire/heat. Hopefully the inks look flame like, I have heat embossed the mount card with copper powder and Dante is in reference to Dante's Inferno. The Divine Comedy's.
I hope the links work, I have my comp back now, It was very, very sick, it had at least 10 different viruses, It now has medi care with Norton so fingers crossed no more probs.
Wow Mark, this is awesome! You have really outdone yourself with those Ranger inks. Brilliant work all around. Thanks so much for fanning the flames with us this week at HDH! Hope to see you around again.
