This is my card for crosscresent's Native American LTC swap. I made a dream catcher card a few years ago but I have been wanting to do another. Someone actually posted a Dream Catcher swap last year but the timing was bad and I didn't join.
I have been wanting to make a card with Yupo paper for a while and this was my first time. I see a lot of alcohol ink art on social media and this was my first go at it. I'm pretty happy with my cards :)
For some of the cards I added the ink first and on others I added the blending solution first. There were 2-3 cards where I did not add the blending solution at all just to see how they would look. I tried moving the ink around with a straw, puffer, and heat tool.
Yupo paper is not supposed to warp, but it will with too much heat. I had to throw a few away because of this.
I had a hard time stamping my stamp. It kept wanting to smear. I eventually gave in and used my stamping platform and they turned out much better.
I'm very happy with my cards but it sounds like they got lost in the mail :( I've got so many things going on, I really don't have time to remake them.
