Messing around with alcohol inks again!

I just can't leave them alone they are so fun. I tried a couple of things on coloured vellum as well as a thin frosted glass square. The glass came out like this:
The background of the glass is coloured using the alcohol inks and then the flower is drawn on with Marvy Markers . I expect a stamp would great a similar effect. Overall I was quite happy with it.


The vellum crinkles am bit when you add the inks which makes for a fun texture if you want to leave it that way or you could iron them on low to see if it makes a difference. I am going to post then first crinkled to see what you all think and them I will iron them and see the difference, You can tell me in the comments what you think of the difference.

Crinkly:

This frog was created by using alcohol inks for the background, a carved stamp for the frog, and water colour pens to give the frog some colour.



The love look was created by using alcohol inks as the background, a heart carved stamp, commercial lettering stamps and a glaze pen for the yellow dots




Ironed for the flat look:




I think I like them both ways, it just depends on what kind of look you are trying to achieve. If you want a more aged look then leave the paper with the crinkles in it but if you want a more modern feel then ironing then paper flat will give you that.

And that concludes todays experiments! Let me know what you think in the comments.

More Alcohol Ink Samples





Here is a another little sample of me playing with these inks. There are so many things you can do with them I have hardly scratched the surface. I can't wait to make an LTC with one.

Adirondack® Alcohol Inks



I have started playing around with Adirondack® Alcohol Inks and some of their accessories. While there is a bit of a learning curve involved, I think these inks have the potential to make some fantastic cards. This heart was created while I was mucking around with the inks seeing what effects I could produce. I can't wait to see what else I can come up with.
