Get Better

Ahhh... playing with alcohol inks never gets old!

Here is a card made with two panels made during the same session:



Supplies:
  • Ranger glossy alcohol ink paper.  (Not a huge fan.  I need some Yupo.)
  • Richele Christensen's technique (HERE).  I have done similar techniques before, but I've never swiped my card through inks on my mat.  Check it out.  
  • Tim Holtz Tiles stencil
  • Adirondack alcohol ink in Butterscotch, Currant, Stream, and Oregano, mostly selected with my "grab blindly" method.  I specifically chose Butterscotch, though, to lighten it up. 
  • Letter stamps are Amy Tangerine and the butterfly is generic, both inked wth Ranger Archival in Jet Black 
  • Stitching created with a Micron 08
Happy to be crafting!  Been awhile!  On the day I did this (Saturday), it was my first playtime in a long time... I wasn't super productive, but let me tell you: I must have had serious withdrawels, because I used EVERYTHING... stencils, alcohol inks, Distress Paint, Liquid Pearls, Dylusions sprays, Distress sprays, stamps, embossing folders, crackles, gloss, embossing powders... like ALL THE STUFF.  It was very therapeutic.

I plan to share this at the following challenges:

  1. Had to go back to have a look at the cards in your previous post. Yup, same stencil, but you've created three different looks with it. I admire how you use your stash in so many different ways, it's inspiring to see what a long way you can come with the use of the same supply!
