Creating an easy alcohol ink background using markers

Hi everyone!

Today I am going to share with you an easy way to create an alcohol ink background using alcohol markers.


I started by taking a piece of photo paper and some alcohol markers and just scribbled the markers on to the paper ( I used the non slick surface from the paper)

Then I took an alcohol ink blending solution and added a few drops to the paper and with a straw I moved around the color.


You can also check the video that I have created where you can see step by step the process of how my background turned out.



To finish my card I was inspired by the current sketch challenge from MFT, and coloured the images from Snuggle Bunnies stamp set and adhered them using foam tape. Also the sentiments is from the same set , I stamp it on black cardstock using Versa Mark and embossed it using white embossing powder. Finished the card using some Pretty Pink Posh sequins.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a great day.

Hello everyone! I have another card that I want to share today! For this card I inked the upper part of my panel with Picked raspberry Distress ink and stamped the cup of coffee and the frappe glas with the same ink . The stamps I used are from Create a Smile same as the sentiment which I embossed with white WOW embossing powder. Since I didn't had a bigger frappe glas i decided to draw one myself and then I colored with Stabilo markers on watercolor paper! To finish up I added some Pretty Pink Posh sequins!
