Cling-wrap birthday cards

Tried something new today!

I wanted to play with cling-wrap (prompted by the current CAS Mix Up) since I don't think I ever have, and I thought (lightbulb) why not try with alcohol ink?!


Oooohhh...


Ahhhh...

I think these turned out cool!

Supplies and notes:
  • So, I used different plastic wraps on these, and it made a difference!  I used regular cling-wrap on the first one, and I used the package wrapping from craft supplies (which was not as crunchy as the regular cling-wrap)
  • I used old photo paper-- NOTE: the newer photo paper I used for pictures does NOT work as well as this old stuff-- it must be unstable.  
  • Technique: I dropped ink all over the photo paper and grabbed the balled-up wrap and dabbed it everywhere.  
  • Tim Holtz sentiment stamp inked with Ranger Archival ink in Jet Black.
I'd like to share this at CAS Mix Up, January:

  6. Wonderful vibrant colours - they make me happy just looking at them! And a great variation on using cling wrap - must try it with AIs and pouncing the cling wrap! Thanks so much for joining us at CAS Mix Up.
