May Club night....

It was out May club night last night and one of the projects we did  was using the Alcohol Inks, tissue paper and Crystal Lacquer technique.. I know I have posted this technique before but thought you might like to see some of the samples that I did using mainly stampin Up stamps...sorry the photographs aren't great as it so dark this afternoon....

   Lovely as a Tree set...Alcohol inks used. Lettuce, Carmel and Butterscotch


 Nature walk set.....inks used, Expresso, Red Pepper and Caramel
 Papaya Collage set....using the same inks and on the Nature walk set.
Faith in Nature set...inks used, Willow, Lettuce and Butterscotch.
 Papillion Potpourri set....Alcohol inks, Cool Perri, Stonewashed and Aqua
PSX stamp... inks used...Bottle, stream, Denim...

This is such an effective technique to do especially if you dont have backing papers and of course you can also add glitter, another lovely effect is to emboss the finished acetate to give it more texture...

Its a really miserable cold and wet afternoon here...where did the sun go??

Another Alcohol background..

Not a lot of time to craft at the moment but used up another background I'd made using alcohol inks...this time Cool Perri and Aqua even using two colours you still get a amazing results.  
Used a LOTV which  I have added more colour to and mounted onto a nestie....SU embossing folder used across the centre. Quickutz corner die.

Sorry my photograph isn't straight but my actual card is!

Have a great weekend...

Playing with Alcohol inks and more...

Its nice to get back in my craft room after a busy week, having our grandson Charlie and also doing a craft fair yesterday..

Do you remember last Weds I post a few things that were on my desk, acetate, alcohol ink, glossy accents, tissue paper and sticky back paper...and this background is the result of using all those things...
If I remember rightly a few years ago I did a similar technique but used floor polish and we called it 'Caught in Crystal' but this technique is so much easier and dries so much quicker...

Having stamped onto acetate turned it over made a few swiggely lines with the Glossy Accent then started putting some alcohol inks on top.  Then take a piece of tissue paper larger than your acetate scrunch it up into a ball then open it out again ready to place on top of your inks..I did sprinkle a little find fline glitter on the top before placing my scrunched up tissue paper and pressing it gown on top of the acetate..dab lighty with a piece of kitchen towel...if you are not happy with the results then add more inks...set aside to dry, then put some sticky back paper on the top and your background is ready to use. You get some beautiful backgrounds....
 Alcohol inks used on this background are Caramel, Butterscotch and Willow.  Stamps used are Clarity Aliums and Martha Stewart border punch around the edge...
Will be back using more of the backgrounds I have created...

Harlequin Rose


My friend Val very kindly stamped me some images from her Harlequin Rose stamp set and as they had been on my desk for a few weeks thought it was time I actually did something with them so here's the first one.
The photo doesn't really do the colouts justice, I've use Butterscotch & Lettuce Adirondack alcohol inks as one of the backgrounds, the Hero Arts swirl stamps on the base background, and of course the lovely SU oval punches as well as the SU Spiral punch. I've sponged around the stamped image with SU So Saffron ink.
