Alcohol ink flower technique

I saw a great video on http://inkstainswithroni.blogspot.com/ for these alcohol ink flowers. Thanks to Roni who has got this boxed off beautifully!!.

However I had great fun today trying out the technique and I suppose I'll get better at it eventually. Below shows my effort at the original technique before and after roughly sketching over with a permanent black pen. The scribble makes such a difference.

The above pic shows how it looks stamped over but I think it would work better with flower images that aren't quite so solid looking. For all the stamps I have, I couldn't find the perfect image. Isn't that always the way and why we are forever buying more. I remember the time when all my stamping stuff fitted into a shoebox... that didn't last long!!
