Alcohol Inks

Here's another alcohol ink card.  Paired it up with feathers that were die cut and stamped with some matching stamps.  Then stamped this message in black on the glossy paper.  It's always a surprising journey when working with alcohol inks.  It always turns out a little different each time I use them.

As promised, here is the paper I did with the blues and greens.  Once the paper was dry, I punched out the squares.  Each square was sponged with black ink on the edges and then stamped over a variety of images. You can read how I applied the alcohol inks on yesterday's blog post.

Impression Obsession and Alcohol Inks

Brought out the alcohol inks the other night and started playing with them.  Poured some Blending solution on glossy paper and then dripped one color at a time onto the paper and let the inks run.  Added more Blending solution to make some more intermixing of colors.  Once it was dry the IO stamp of trees with birds were inked with a dye black and placed over the colors.  Will show another example with cool colors tomorrow.

Elizabeth Craft stickers and Glitter

Can you tell I like eggs?  I collect them actually.  So, when I find a way to incorporate eggs into card making, you can bet I'm all in.  The egg is a gold sticker which was placed on sticky paper.  Then iridescent glitter was poured over the sticky paper.  Since Copic markers are alcohol based, you can color in the glitter.  The words are a Memory Box stamp.  All this was placed on a Bazzil metallic pink paper.

Memory Box Card

It was a spectacular weekend for the cherry blossoms in DC.  But then this week the wind came and now the rain so I think that will the be end of them.   We like celebrating the blossoms so here is a my rendition on a card.  Don't remember who does this great printed paper.  Memory Box did the stamp which was lightly colored in with Copics and small pink gems were added.

Dreamweaver Stencil

After a beautiful and warm weekend, looks like we're in for some rain and colder weather.  Made me think of this stencil.  It was placed over a white card and gray ink was sponged over all of the metal except for the one umbrella.  A mask was placed over the one umbrella.  Once the gray was on, a reverse mask was used and Versamark was pressed onto the umbrella.  The mask and stencil were removed and pink embossing powder was applied and heat set.  A light pink was sponged over the all the white areas.  Then it was mounted onto the card.

Impression Obsession Easter Card

 

Another egg card today, but very different from the one yesterday.  The image was stamped with a black Momento pad and then colored in with Copic markers.  A punch made the fancy cuts along the edge of the pink paper.  There is a velvet pink ribbon between the pink paper and the white.
