Compendium of Curiousities 2 challenge!

It has been so long since I've been able to complete one of the weekly challenges over at Linda's blog, Studio L3. I'm glad to get back in the game (for a moment at least) and use it to create a get well card for my sister-in-law. (Don't look Kelly!!) The challenge was the Alcohol Ink Resist as found on page 59 of Tim Holtz's book Compendium of Curiousities 2. Awesome technique and one I've not tried before! Here is the card:



I'm also entering this into the Frilly and Funkie blog challenge "A Different Kind of Tag". You had to use a tag in your project in a non-standard way.  I think making a wrap out of two tags fits the bill! I encourage you to go check out both blogs and see all the wonderful projects everyone has been linking up. Lots of inspiration!
