This is my ATC for this week's challenge at Think Monday, Think ATC which is friendship. The background and flower were colored by alchol inks. The design was inspired by Jennifer McGuire's Thinking Inking video here:http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hb_SMMD1lQ
Jennifer has several videos on You Tube and you can do a search for "Thinking Inking" and find them. They are all great videos!
I did not have the rub-ons that she used and just stamped my flower stem and leaves and my background paper was a glossy white embossed paper. My flower was not felt. It is just a paper flower that was a different color before I inked it with the alcohol inks.
The quote says, "If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give." ~George MacDonald

Brilliant background.
Great background texture and the colorcombination of butterfly and background is perfect. Love that.

This is so beautiful, as is the word message. Love it.
Super beautiful background. Can you give a more specific link to how to do it? I went to Jennifer's blog but I couldn't find it.
Also having much trouble with the OpenID today.

Very nice ATC with a great background! I would like to try this technique myself, but could not find it on Jennifer's blog. Can you give a link where to find this technique (maybe include it in the post) ?
