Hi everyone. A few weeks back I did some experimenting with Alcohol Inks and cling wrap. Seems that this is technique is very popular right now.
I dropped AIs onto Yupo paper (can't remember the colours, but looks like turquoise, lime and blue). Then I squirted a little bit of blending solution to get the inks moving. I took a piece of cling wrap (larger than the piece of Yupo I was working with), crunched it up to create creases, then opened it up and placed it over the wet inks, crunching the cling wrap a bit more to create lots of folds. I left it to dry overnight.
When I removed the cling wrap, this is the background I got. Makes for a very interesting background or die-cuts. I'll definitely be making more pieces with this fun and easy technique.

Oh my goodnes, this background is stunning! Wow! I remember using cling wrap several years ago, but I don't think I ever got into alcohol inks. But boy oh boy, you create some of the most beautiful backgrounds I've seen. You also showcase your dies and stamps wonderfully with them. Just so inspiring! Thanks so much, Loll!
