Okay this challenge stumped me I must say. I started out it a totally different direction. I ended tossing it in the trash. 

 Then remembered that Yupo paper is plastic. There we go.

I used my alcohol inks on the Yupo to make a background. Next I took my stamps and stamped them with archival ink and heat set them. Take a stencil and some alcohol and a sponge and sponge it through. You can use lift ink for that also. To give it another layer.  

Then I added a saying and layered it on a black card base. 

I hope you try this challenging challenge here.

ATCs on Yupo

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Cathy here with some ATCs for you

I used some Yupo paper and some Alcohol inks, blending solution, 91% isopropyl alcohol and embossing power.
Stamps I used:
Daisy Flourishes
Lily Flourishes

I started out with a strip of Yupo paper 2.5 inches wide. and 11 inches long. Then I grabbed some purple and blue alcohol inks. I had in my stash Tim Holtz marker spritzer and I thought to my self let's see if this works well with blowing the inks around like his new blower shows.(it does)
So I added some blending solution and then some inks and blew the inks around with the spritzer.

Added some 91% alcohol and moved the ink some more. When I was happy of how the inks were on the strip I cut them at 3.5 inches.

Then I took the Lily Flourishes and stamped it with Versa mark ink and heat embossed it with sliver and the other one I stamped Daisy Flourishes with gold embossing. 

Yupo paper is plastic so it will bend and warp when you heat it so keep that heat gun moving.

Come join the fun here.
