Hello, everyone! Welcome back to another exciting month at the Colorful Options Challenge! 🎨🌈 This month, we’re all about embracing bold and vibrant hues. Choose any color that speaks to you, as long as it makes a statement! And if you prefer a gentler touch, feel free to explore a soft rainbow palette instead. Whatever you choose, let your creativity shine!

This month, I decided to try something new and played around with alcohol inks. I used Copic Refills and rubbing alcohol on some Yupo paper. My focal image and sentiment are supplied by Sizzix & Tim Holtz.

The stamps look amazing against that fabulous background. You have inspired me to get my alcohol inks out for a little messy crafting.
