Alcohol Inks - Art Journalling Part #2

Hi everyone, Adriana here today with Part#2 on exploring techniques with Alcohol Inks, in particular, creating wonderful backgrounds with 
the Couture Creations Glitter Accent Alcohol Inks 
on normal Art journalling paper or pages.  

for today, I have created two pages in my Art journal
both have the same base before adding the 
wonderful Alcohol Inks to my page.



For my two pages I have created a base before applying the Alcohol Inks - this is really important and also I show you what happens if you don't apply a protective coat of either gesso or texture medium on the paper of your art journal book, please check out my video for all the tips.



Once, the gesso is dry on my page, I applied my Alcohol Inks colour
and added some stamping of butterflies and some word sentiments from my craft room.









I have also created another page for my art journal, this is the one featured in my YOU TUBE video. I also created a beautiful butterfly 
with my GO PRESS and FOIL Machine, with Chocolate Heat Activated foil on YUPO PAPER ( Already coloured and decorated with Alcohol Inks)

This butterfly is a Cut & Create die from the
STEAMPUNK DREAMS Collection - designed by Lucy Campeanu
Love this Butterfly image !!

Art Journalling with Alcohol Inks Part #1




Hi everyone, Adriana here today and I am exploring techniques on creating wonderful backgrounds with 
Couture Creations Alcohol Inks 
on normal art journalling paper and books.  I have been playing around with Alcohol inks on Yupo paper and I also love creating in my art Journal book.  I have created a video to show you all how to create on Yupo paper and then while the inks are still wet on the Yupo paper, I place a page from my art journal (300gsm) over the top , rubbing the back and presto a unique transfer of the alcohol ink colour onto the art journalling card stock is achieved.  I love the effect... and this is now ready to be stamped, coloured or using a stencil and some texture paste over the page.

After I created my background, on my journal pages, I stamped some images with the
Mini Stamp and Die set from

SWEEPING PLAINS collection

CO727984 Sweeping Plains - Kookaburra Mini stamp and die set
