ALCOHOL INKS - GULF BEACH FLYOVER

Image
Hello, Everyone! Hope you are keeping yourselves occupied during SAH and, most important, that you are still safe and healthy! I have had more time to do some experimenting with some new-to-me art supplies - mainly alcohol inks.  This (to me) aerial view of a Gulf beach was, literally, my first attempt - I think it is beginner's luck - it was really pretty easy.  I was just experimenting and it was like, "Hey, this actually looks like what I had in mind!"  I would like to attempt a full-size one some day to hang, but haven't the nerve, yet.  On my original, the water is slightly deeper blue-green. Anyway, if you'd like to know what I used (only a few supplies) and how I did it, leave a Comment on my blog.  I'll be happy to share, as much as I can remember. Happy Crafting!

MORE CRAZY FUN - WATERCOLOR TO ALCOHOL - NO STAMPIN'

Image
Hi, Stampers! I came across my inspiration for these cute little "splotch" birds while marathon-watching YouTube tutorials for using alcohol inks.  However, these little guys popped up (watercolor) and I couldn't resist watching the video.  You can find the Amber K Creative video here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1H9Tnv2xUI&t=4s . Since I've been practicing with alcohol inks, I created a version (nowhere near as cute as Amber K's) using alcohol inks on Yupo ** paper.  But, I wanted to share here, because you can easily use SU! watercolor paper and ink refills!  The "details" are drawn with a Sharpie.  I haven't decided if I want to add a sentiment.  My first attempt is below. Have fun! Sue Duffy ~ mandsduffy@comcast.net
