More Alcohol ink cards!


I was playing with the alcohol inks again the other night and found you can create some interesting striped backgrounds by wiping your applicator across your glossy cardstock! I just picked up a set of the bright colors (watermelon, citrus green, sail boat blue) and wanted to play with them! I grabbed another favorite Hero Arts stamp and did 2 cards with different backgrounds. The pink one I decided to change the sentiment to a birthday one, so I stamped it on green cardstock and popped it up for some dimension. I came back and added some Glossy Accents to a few spots for more interest and texture. As you can see I really like bright colors and of course my all time favorite- black!





Here is one more expirament with the wiping technique on glossy cardstock! This time I loaded my applicator with the blending solution first, then loaded all the assorted colors side by side and just started wiping away....! I really love how it looks like a beach towel.......at least that's what I think! So I borrowd a fishing lure stamp from my cousin and stamped it on there and colored it in , but that's as far as I've gotten with it. Just thought you might enjoy seeing something different using a wiping technique! If any of you can think of a good sentiment to go with the fishing lure let me know.......I'd like to make this into a card for my sister who loves fishing as much as I do.

Thanks for stopping by! Anne

  1. Hi Anne,
    Thanks for showing more ways to use those inks! I like your cards and the fishing lures are fun. How about, "Fishing you a Fintastic Day!" Fish you were here. I fish for you a happy day.
