Alcohol Ink Agates Technique

Welcome!
I've received my two big orders from Inspiration Emporium so I'm ready to go back and complete those technique tags from Tim Holtz's Creative Chemistry 101 online class.  


I loved Tim's results with the alcohol ink agates technique.  Here are my messy attempts.


I love the look of the metallic gold mixatives on these.  The rose coloured tag was my first attempt, and I didn't like the look of it originally, but it has turned out to be my favourite.
