Now, I adore the look of this! However, it so did not work. Apparently I used the wrong black ink [Versafine] for stamping [on Yupo], since when I went to cut out the flowers with the matching die. I had black ink everywhere! So, I got this great idea to emboss the flowers - that would set the ink. Yep - I melted the yupo into nothing! LOL gotta play and learn I guess.
Meanwhile, I tried again [with different black ink; Ranger Archival] and had a better result.
I used the 1/2 circle from the Rounded Sunlight Window die set, and a sentiment from Just For You Sentiments.
Okay, that's it for me this month. Below is a list of the participating Designers. Remember to leave a comment for the $25 gift certificate to Heartfelt Creations.

Good to know not to use heat on Yupo...or Versafine! Yikes! That had to have been heartbreaking to see all that lovely ink go to waste. I do love your end result, though. It has a wonderful jewel like quality. You have inspired me to be more daring! Thanks so much for hopping with us my friend!
I bought some alcohol inks, and just need to try them out.It is good to experiment. Thank you for showing us what not to do :) I like what you came up with in the end. Fun stuff, experimenting.
