Hello Crafty Friends,
I hope your week is off to a great start. I had a chance to slip into my craft room this weekend to work on several design team projects. I wanted to try out various techniques I had not used in a while, which meant I needed to watch a Youtube video to remember how to do the technique. The life of a creative. Sometimes I become so comfortable with designing my cards a certain way, I forget to push myself to try new things or hone my skills. So that is exactly what I did with my alcohol inks.
To create this card, I used Yupo paper and several alcohol inks with the gold mixative. Since the alcohol panel was colorful, I paired it with a simple flower using both shades of purple and black and white. A simple sentiment completes this card. Some key takeaways when using alcohol inks, make sure to work in a well-ventilated area. While it is possible to be somewhat intentional when playing with alcohol inks, the medium is meant to be organic in nature and free-flowing. I had to remind myself of this fact and just let go.
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you have a beautiful holiday season. Until next time.
Happy Crafting,
Keia
