Angels Landing "For a special Friend" (Alcohol Inks and Opalite)!

Todays post is for Angels Landing.com, our challenge for today was NO WHITE!!!lol I love this!! Of course we always seem to use white, so this was nice!!! :) Thank you Judi!!! This is another notebook, and of course by now you know I love making them!!Right???? :) LOL
Also for today Im sharing another alcohol ink technique on this darling bear from Angels Landing!



First I picked my colors:

• Distress Ink (Fire Brick Red) (Peeled Paint) (Mustard Seed)
• Adirondack Alcohol Ink (Ginger) (Latte)
• Alcohol Solution
• Dabbing Tool, and replacement sheets
• Opalite (used Last)

As you can see my tile is a mess!!!LOL that is fine. I used the mustard seed, Ginger and latte upper top where they are running together.
The red you can see, and the LITTLE drop of green is in the middle. I added Alcohol solution to them all. That way the ink wont be soooo dark. I always test to my scrap paper to see what it will look like before it ever touches the image.

I dabb darker around the edges and lighter towards the face. On the bear I used all colors I believe except green. The greein I used for the stem of the flower.

The sponge brush works well too lift any excess ink off of the image! And to add the Opalite to the top of your image. I use both sides:)

Lastly I used the opalite on top of the bear!!

I wanted to take a picture of all products used!

Thank you for looking and have a wonderful day!!!

PDD Tues & Tutorial on Alcohol Inks !!!

Todays card was done for the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge this weeks challenge is to show the "Earth Rejoicing"

I wanted to show you a tutorial on how I use Alcohol inks on this Rose!Also one of my cards from last weeks challenge was picked for the Shining Star Award for this week!!!

This technique is super fun and easy, and you dont have to worry about getting the shading all wrong. I love the look of the Alcohol inks with this technique and im sure you will too!!

first I used tattered rose and the blending solution on my tool.

Next I took the Fire Brick and more solution on a different pad and dabbed over the rose. The sponge I used to soak up excess ink.

I then used the gold pen to outline the rose!

On the leaves I used a copic marker to color super fast for my base coat. Then dapped with Peeled Paint Distress ink and solution on another new pad.(you can keep these pads a reuse them)


Here is a picture with the Distressed ink and use the sponge to soak up extra.

Picture below shows me adding the gold to the veins of the leaves.

Hope you will give this technique a try, and let me know what you think of it!!! Have fun!!!

Here is a link to the Distressed inks to view other colors, and Marti always has these for super cheap!!!

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!!

PDD Friday/Alcohol Inks on Digi Image

Today I wanted to share with you how to use Alcohol Inks on a Image!
On this I used soft gloss photo paper! The Image I used is from Angels Landing, and its a darling digi image!

So first I took 2 of the 3 colors used (Ginger, and Latte) but you can use any colors.

Next I finishfilling in with the 2 colors and then added some pink to the ears and face.

Now you would want to add another color, in this case I added Caramel. Dont forget to add your blending solution everytime you add ink to your tool!!!

Then I used the Mixative(Copper) and filled in the areas that were not :)

this is my image done and cut out!!

PDD Wednesday/Alcohol Ink Technique

This card was designed for SCS Sketch Challenge and I used the Alcohol Ink Technique on the one background.
Here are some pictures to show you how and what I used on mine

First I didnt have the right paper, so I used shiny photo paper :)

I used 3 different Alcohol inks to start with . At the one end I added a few drops of Ginger, then Latte, and then caramel.

Next I added the copic refill of the colorless blender(just add it over all your colors on the pad, before you start dabbing), I didnt have the alcohol blending stuff for this so I had to make due with what I did have :)

then I just started dabbing in different directions.

Once it looked like this, I added more Ginger and alcohol (copic colorless blending ) to the pad. You can find the Blending Tool here

You will then have a look like this! They will all look sooo different just mess around until you have the look you like :)

Next I used the Distress Crackle paint. I added some to my tile and then dabbed some on the blending tool.

Then just dabb on the paper in different spots :)

And there you have it!!! All done. You can try other colors, of course these are my first colors, so I will have to get others to try :)


Here is my card all done!

Thank you for looking and have a wonderful day!!!!

All products used for this technique(not copic refill) can be found here at Pez-A-Doodle Designs!!!

Have fun, and hope you will try this fun technique :)

Hugs,
