Alcohol Ink.....Play Day





The Art Sisters are playing with

Alcohol Inks



Here is our inspiration:


Pigments of Your Imagination
Creating with Alcohol Inks
By: Cathy Taylor






Adirondack Alcohol Inks






It was a very colorful day for the Art Sisters!











We are playing on Glossy Photo Paper
















Alcohol Inks on Glossy Photo Paper...






then I added blending solution.











We used drinking straws to blow and spread the ink 

across the paper




We spread hand sanitizer on the paper:


then added the alcohol ink on top of the hand sanitizer...






The drops of ink stay in circles and don't spread out as much.









We spread watered down glue on the paper:


then dropped the alcohol ink on top of the glue...

the ink stayed where you put it, not as much blending.













Then we pulled out the plastic wrap:


We covered the alcohol ink with scrunched up plastic wrap...






this needs to dry completely before the plastic is removed.






We created lots of papers to use in future projects!






Happy Valentines!


The card was created by Virginia 

using glossy photo paper  covered in alcohol inks...

she also baked the cookies.....yum!
