Hi Scrapping Clearly Lovelies,
It's Karyn here,
Today I have some cards to share with you made using alcohol inks and Yupo paper available in the Scrapping Clearly Store.
Yupo
paper is a kind of "plastic" paper which is great for using with
Alcohol inks. I have tried using gloss paper but the inks dry much
faster and absorb some of the ink so you get different results.
I
started by cutting down my Yupo paper to card size (14cm x 10cm) so It
was more manageable. Then I added a heap of drops of my first ink. the
ink spreads out across the paper giving interesting and unique effects.
When this was somewhat dry I added drops of a second colour, then a
third colour. Lastly I added some drops of blending solution(removes the
colour), then drops of a silver mixative. It is all about experimenting
- you can keep adding as you like, there are no rules!
Once
it was thoroughly dry (did take a few hours) I diecut some white
elements to go on my card fronts as well as diecutting a geometric heart
from one of the finished sheets.
Here
are the finished cards. The alcohol ink designs make perfect
backgrounds dont they!! I just added some flowers and a simple stamped
Happy birthday sentiment.
Thanks so much for stopping by
