I rather fancy this card, to get the pseudo tie-died look I took 2 sheets of glossy photo paper (I use the cheapo stuff from Sam's) spritzed them with water and dropped several drops of ink refils in varying colors toward the center on one of the sheets. I then took the uninked sheet & pressed it directly on top of the inked one and smoothed all around. Keep in mind the ink will seep from the edges and may stain your work space and hands! I let this dry for several hours and then wiped off the excess water and then stamped my image several times for the hot air balloon and the extra hearts.
My card hits on many challenges:

I love the tiedyed effect. I think it is great that you were able to make a card fit so many challenges, I think that is a challenge in itself!

Hello Mary no these are not alcohol based inks just your regular dye based inks but misting the glossy paper ahead of time encouraged the ink to sprawl out like an alcohol ink. Beth
Absolutely beautiful card.. I love how the colors just pop!!! Thanks for joining us at Practical Scrappers ...
