Getting Creative with Chipboard–alcohol ink
Many of you asked me for more tutorials using alcohol ink, and today I’m going to show you how easy it is to jazz up your chipboard with alcohol inks. More alcohol ink ideas can be seen in two of my tutorials entitled, Painting With Alcohol Inks and Batik Mulberry.
Southern Ontario has been cool over the past couple of nights. Sweaters have to be worn by the lake as there is a chill in the air. Ahhhhhhhh, my favourite time of year. Today’s inspiration came from the fall that is in the air. I’m even cooking like it’s fall. Last night I made my daughter’s favourite–shepherd’s pie. Mmmmm. My secret ingredient–poultry seasoning. Yup, that’s right, poultry seasoning. Let’s think fall today, shall we?
Supplies:
- Acrylic paint
- Chipboard
- Alcohol ink
- Blending solution
- Felt and handle, or cotton ball
Paint your chipboard. Here I used green because I wanted some green to show on the leaves. Place dots of alcohol ink on your felt pad and stamp all over. I did four pieces of chipboard at a time. After I placed the alcohol ink on the pad, I then added blending medium and a few more drops of colour on the same felt pad and blended on more colour.
Don’t these leaves remind you of autumn?
