I decided to get out the box of long forgotten Alcohol inks and give them a go in this summer themed creation.
I don't work much with Alcohol inks and I have never really mastered them -So they sat on the shelf...time to give them another go...
I dropped some alcohol ink drips onto the craft mat - using Lettuce, Meadow, Stream, Pool and Denim. I swirled some glossy white card into the ink and the effect was quite dark. I squirted some blending solution onto the inks left on the mat and swirled more card into the ink
This time the effect was better and I really liked it. There was enough ink to swirl another piece of card into it - always use up inks on the mat!
I used a stencil and dabbed some blending solution over it.
Then I used one of the pieces of alcohol inked card as the base of the card.
I stamped some shell and seahorse images from Crafty Individuals onto a piece of alcol inked card. I cut them out and stuck them onto a piece of white card that was them inked and stamped with Black Soot DI.
A piece of card was covered with Evergreen Bough DP and formed the base of the card.
A chit chat sticker was added
Quite a rare CAS style creation - well it is as CAS as I can get!
Hope you liked it!
Happy Crafting!

Love your alcohol ink creation, Laura! I like the effect you created with the stencil! Have to remember that! I need to dig out my alcohol inks and give this a try. Thanks for sharing your methodology/technique! Your white layer with the seahorse is perfect on the beautiful alcohol inked background! Thanks again! Hugs, Laura Holm

This is lovely, Laura! I feel calmer and more serene just looking at this beautiful card! Your alcohol ink background looks like a pool of water and I'm lucky enough to see this seahorse gliding by :) Big Sigh....sooo pretty!! XOXO-Shari
ReplyDeleteI love this, Laura!
ReplyDeleteAnd I have never seen anyone create this effect with alcohol inks that you managed to achieve! It's incredible and very unique! They look so "light" - like a sea breeze (if you know what I mean). Perfect for the lovely seahorse image!
