Alcohol Ink Backgrounds IV - One of a kind Dino

Hi there,

this is the fourth and last part of my little series for the Karten-Kunst-Blog and it is all about Alcohol Ink Backgrounds. Today, we are creating a bubbly background:

• cut out a tag from Lanavanguard Paper using the Clearly Besotted Rounded Tag die
• drip the Alcohol Inks (Aqua, Pool, Stonewashed, Sailboat Blue) directly onto the paper and watch how they form concentric circles
• stamp the adorbale dinosaur from the Lawn Fawn Critters from the Past stamp set with Memento (Tuxedo Black) and the sentiment from Karten-Kunst Du bist ... with VersaMagic (Midnight Black)
• color the image with Delta Markers and DIY Alcohol Ink Markers and add dots with a white gel pen
• thread a piece of Linen Ribbon through the hole of the tag, secure it with the help of the Tiny Attacher and add an enamel dot as final embellishment

Love Tag

Hi there,

it is Stencil Sunday time again over at the STAMPlorations Blog and I would like to show you this Valentine's Day Tag:

• cut a tag from Lanavanguard paper with the Sizzix Tag Collection and create an ombre background with Alcohol Inks (Pink Sherbet, Raspberry, Watermelon)
• apply Alcohol Blending Solution through the ARTplorations Old Rose Prints stencil with an Ink Blending Tool to remove some of the ink and create a subtle pattern
• stamp the borders from the STAMPlorations Artsy Border Maker with Memento Luxe (Rosebud) and the sentiment from STAMPlorations Trendy Butterflies with VersaMagic (Midnight Black)
• cover the stamping with clear embossing powder - make sure to limit the use of the heat tool to a minimum because Yupo is plastic and will curl if heated too long
• add some burlap ribbon through the hole of the tag, staple it together using the Tiny Attacher and tie a cute little bow around it
