Manuscript found in a bottle, Poe style for gingersnaps,second post today!!

Hey there bloggers,
Well I have to say, despite not being sure, I am LOVING the go Poe month of challenges at gingersnap, this using alcohol inks, @ http://gingersnapcreations.blogspot.com/  ,make sure you hop across and see the fab dt work, and entries.
This was not something I had turned my hand to before and I can honestly say I have loved all four of the challenges and will be sad to see the month end...I will even miss Poe!!!
Anyway, enough waffling..here is my piece:
The challenge at gingersnaps this time was using alcohol inks, which I definitely don't use enough!!!
I started by making a background piece using alcohol inks, I also applied them to a fragment and then removed the colour from centre using blending solution.The alcohol inks were also applied to a stampbord tile.
Once the background was dry I added strips of tissue tape,.....,
The other half of the card was covered with text from a book kindly given to me for this by my sister.
I chose manuscript found on a bottle... I made a scroll from a piece of the text and added some inside a bottle...which I dripped alcohol inks down the outside of.
The stampbord tile was over stamped with pen nibs and Poe added.
The tile had a picture of Poe added. To complete the card the pieces were assembled and then a pen nib added.
I am entering this for the following challenges:
