Hi Lovelies!!
Today I have some cards to share with you made using alcohol inks and Yupo paper available in the Scrapping Clearly Store.
Yupo paper is a kind of "plastic" paper which is great for using with Alcohol inks. I have tried using gloss paper but the inks dry much faster and absorb some of the ink so you get different results.
I started by cutting down my Yupo paper to card size (14cm x 10cm) so It was more manageable. Then I added a heap of drops of my first ink. the ink spreads out across the paper giving interesting and unique effects. When this was somewhat dry I added drops of a second colour, then a third colour. Lastly I added some drops of blending solution(removes the colour), then drops of a silver mixative. It is all about experimenting - you can keep adding as you like, there are no rules!
Once it was thoroughly dry (did take a few hours) I diecut some white elements to go on my card fronts as well as diecutting a geometric heart from one of the finished sheets.
Here are the finished cards. The alcohol ink designs make perfect backgrounds dont they!! I just added some flowers and a simple stamped Happy birthday sentiment.

For the second card I used a 14cm x 14cm card base again, then I matted more of the "Colour Exposion 3" paper and some painted white cardstock - swiped with DWM paint (Tangerine, Sedona, Lapis) across in places. I coloured my chipboard using the same paints.

Todays project is a scrapbook page - of me :)
I started with a sheet & Dots Studio Paint Chips "Underpaper" and swiped DWM paint (Tangerine, Sedona, Black, Buff) across in places.
I coloured my chipboard using Lindy's embossing powder in "Kaiser Russet Red" (this was as orange as I had lol).
Here are some close-ups. I've also added some flowers, a white paper doilie, orange muslin and a torn piece of dressmakers pattern.
I love these word stickers from 7 Dots Studio - Paint Chips collection.
