Playing with alcohol...

 ...(inks) outside is just the best.  The fumes are minimal, the patio setting is delightful, and even the crickets don't care what's happening.  I just love the intensity of alcohol ink colours, and once fixed with workable fixative, they can be easily used for backgrounds, collages, cards and so much more.  

I was down to my last half sheet of inky gloriousness, so I was delighted to play for a couple of hours and come up with these beauties.








With luck, I can get another session in before we head into winter, and I'll be set for the coming year.  Here's to alcohol, I say!! 🥂  Inks, I mean... 😉

Hope your summer is going well, and your creativity is exploding with all the beauty around you!

  1. Hi Win, I so love alcohol inks. My favourite is applying them to acetate and Yupo and then layering them over other patterned/printed card, they create a whole new effect. Can't wait to see what you do with these. Happy crafting. Hugs Angela xXx

    1. The colour intensity just makes me so happy. And playing outside in the fresh air always tells me I'm in the midst of summer - another way to back in heaven. ;-)
