Alcohol Ink Flower


 I've been playing with alcohol inks and my yupo-type file dividers again. I used stream, sailboat blue, cloudy blue and meadow with some silver and pearl mixatives. I blew the inks around with a straw which I found was a lot easier than the squeezy bubble thing I had used before. I trimmed the piece down and matted it onto some white card. The flower die cut is an Amazon purchase and I added a simple Winnie and Walter sentiment. The card base is pearlescent green.

    1. I was pleased with the mix of colours. I'm enjoying using alcohol inks on this Yupo-type base - it enables you to move the inks around much more easily. I did try using my heat gun as I've seen on online demos but sadly it just buckled and ruined another piece I did in warm colours.
