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.
