Playing with alcohol inks

I have been following with interest, The Craft Barn blog this week, which is all about alcohol inks. I tried Andy's technique, and this is the result, which I have made into an ATC. I am sorry the colour does not show up very well. I would like to enter it in
http://thecraftbarnblog.blogspot.com/
and also at
http://atcchallenges.blogspot.com/
 for anything.
Thanks for looking, and thanks for your lovely comments
