Alcohol Ink Coasters

I wanted to try something a little different so I decided to blend my love for alcohol inks with my new interest, resin. The result is actually quite surprising. I even used some fake lavender to create something really pretty! Check out the video to see how I did it!

 

A quick looksie at the projects made.

So grateful

I adore the Peace, Love and Holly stamp set and die. Making a clean and simple card, with some very light watercoloring and some patterned paper? Yes please. Super duper easy to mass produce as well! To create the subtle watercolor, I simply stamped the images with CP ink and then took a wet paint brush to blend out some of the color. EASY!

Another way to create a beautifully simple card is by blending on some ink, flicking on some water drops and then adhering the holly image with no coloring whatsoever! Wuite eye catching, don’t you think?

 

And finally, let’s talk about this coverplate. Absolutely stunning. And the detail on this die is unbelievable….. I just squirted on some metallic ink spray and adhered it to a black card base… Again, super easy but very eye catching.

The entire release is available now! You can see all the products by clicking HERE! Be sure to check it out because there are loads more products available.. Bunnies, Birch Trees, Snowflakes…..
