ALCOHOL INK SMOOSH

We used alcohol inks in the last class so I thought we'd continue with them in this class but this time use them for making backgrounds instead of embellishments.  I love the various effects you can get with alcohol inks by varying how you actually apply them.  This time it's the old tried and true method of "smooshing" the glossy card stock on puddles of alcohol inks to create these gorgeous backgrounds.  By also applying some rubbing alcohol and even the alcohol ink metallic mixatives, you can vary how these backgrounds turn out.  Love the contrasting colours!

"Contradiction"...

"Recycled Stardust"...

"The cure"...

"Dull your sparkle"...
