Alcohol Ink Mini Masterclass

Fab workshop today using alcohol inks on acetate and silk art card from Clarity Stamps. A little out of the usual as it was mainly technique focused, trying 3 ways of applying the ink on both acetate and the silk card.  Then during the second part of the workshop the girls chose the artwork they liked best and made a card from it with some stunning results. One hour of alcohol inks & blending solution was definitely enough with a room full of people, even with all the doors and windows open!

Here are some of the samples I made with a brief description alongside.

 The butterfly and flower cards were made using drops of ink then a straw to blow the ink around before die cutting.

These two vibrant cards were made using the same technique but then adding a few drops of blending solution. Magical watching the inks react and move around!  

  

 The last card was done on acetate. I loved this background and simply stamped a phrase on the opposite side (difficult to see with the light reflecting on the acetate) and filled in the letters with a white paint pen. If it wasn't for the impending headaches I would have gone on for another hour!
