Angel - Alcohol Ink foil Transparency- Think Monday - Think ATC

This is my angel ATC for the Think Monday - Think ATC challenge. We had a technique Challenge and a video to show us how to do this alcohol ink foil technique. I loved the video and I think I understood it even though it was in German. The technique is to color the back of the transparency with alchol inks. I used gold, stonewash blue and a green on mine. Then I stamped an image on the front of the transparency with staz-on ink.
Behind the transparency is crumpled foil.
On the video, she used an old book page to layer her ATC but I have used a vellum with pansies on it between the transparency and the foil to layer my ATC. I colored her wings with a white pen.
I colored the flower and leaves with alcohol inks.
This was not on the video but was another technique that I learned at a class I took at our local stamp store. I let a drop of each color dry in a plastic pallet and after it was dry I used an artist brush that was damped with blending solution to paint with.
