For Stan's birthday, I chose to make a card inspired by his photography. I wish I had his photos on my computer so I could upload one and show you my inspiration piece but he loves to do nature photography as his hobby and does these wonderful pictures with beautiful colored skies and plants and trees, etc. in the foreground. I tried to recreate that by using my alcohol inks and stamps. The Inspired by Nature (SU) stamp was perfect for this. Since the colors turned out so stunning, I didn't want to get too fussy with it and even used a second sheet of the background for the layer underneath the main image panel. It makes a cool effect. I just added the rhinestone stickers to the corners and to dot the "i" and that's it. Adirondak alcohol ink colors are Eggplant, Stream, and Sunshine Yellow. I just dripped them on a sheet of acetate and smeared the glossy card stock in it. I had to do it a bunch of times to get the desired effect which was to simulate the sunset sky at the beach.
