I love alcohol inks and have had fun with them for a couple of years now. Last year I got two different sets of Adirondack AI for Christmas. I also have made my own by using food and fabric dyes with isopropyl alcohol. Created by Hand challenge has alcohol inks as its theme this week.My background started out as a satin finish photo paper which I ran through the pasta machine in a cuttlebug folder to get that lovely swirl design. I then sprayed the sheet with my green AI. It looked gaudy, so I sprayed some yellow AI on it. It still looked pretty loud, so I hit it again with some red AI. Then I took a piece of toweling and dabbed some of the ink back off. I am really excited by the brownish background. The little kids are my mother's first cousins, the Weir children.
Really gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteFabulous background and lovely image.
I can see why you are excited by the brown background because it is so gorgeous! You've created a wonderful vintage look perfect for the old photograph.
