I had to create a card that combined the Word Art Wednesday Challenge and Dazzling Diva Challenge #25 and nothing came to mind.

As I started digging around my drawers, I found my stash of Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink and Alcohol Ink Card Stock and decided to try something with that. Playing around with these Tim Holtz products led me to creating a bunch of interesting backgrounds. What surprised me even more is how long I have had these products and not used them.

Then, all of a sudden it all came together and my card design came to life. Honestly, it was much different than what I had originally envisioned. I fell in love with the card and this fun technique using Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink. What was even better was that I was able to incorporate two challenges.
