Alcohol Inks

Probably you can relate... we are always looking for a place to put a sentiment on our cards. When my friend ordered ten of my cards she said - I would like to have cards without a sentiment so that I can make them my own...
So I refrained from putting a sentiment on these cards. The panels of glossy cardstock have been dabbed with a random inking of alcohol inks. Ginger, cranberry and eggplant. I always add a few drops of alcohol blender solution which is apparent by the 'rings' you see. I also made two in one go - that is a frugal way of using all the ink on the felt applicator.


The large butterfly is Penny Black. The set is called Butterfly Trio. I white embossed the image.


This is the smallest size of the butterflies. I love the depth that alcohol inks bring to a card.


We are having beautiful sunny, warm weather! Since we have a National holiday on Tuesday, that means four beautiful days to rest and gives thanks to the Lord for His Goodness and Kindness.

  5. These are lovely.The alcohol ink background is so interesting and I'm sure it's fun because you just don't know what you will get.I love the white embossing on top and think it's a perfect look. I try to keep a few cards without sentiments so that if I need something in a hurry, I have something. I'm going to pull out my box with alcohol inks and see what happens! :)
