Alcohol inks and metallic promarkers galore!

I love playing around and messing, and I am trying to combine more of my inks with each other - so I had a play with alcohol inks and metallic promarkers (I confess to loving my metallic markers!) whilst making up my samples for Crafting Time.

 I needed to make a box to put a friend's birthday present in, but confess to be rubbish at making boxes so I used a naked secret book I had waiting to be altered. Crafting Time have a fab range of binderie, naked and altered art products.  I used my alcohol inks - eggplant, stonewashed and silver.  I used my blending tool, and worked up the colour and mottling over 4 layers of ink.  With patience you can get the ink into all the nooks and crannies!!  For the inside I laid down a vase using my amythest promarker and then used my metallic promarkers and airbrush to build up the mottling, as the blending tool was too big to fit inside easily!

Finally I made the rolled flower using the Spellbinders bitty blossoms die, securing the base with glossy accents, before layering it up onto paper flowers. Finally I added a pearl to the centre of the flower.

The earrings and drop pendant were made by my cousin, who did glass blowing as part of her Art Degree.

And for something else - very different for me ...!!!

I bought this  mask ages ago to do for a party, and have never got round to doing it!! I used my alcohol inks - eggplant, stonewashed and silver.  I used my blending tool, and worked up the colour and mottling up the colour using different combinations of the inks on my blending tool.  I used  the fancy swirl stamp from IndigoBlu's Wild Meadow stamp set, and stamped it over the mask using silver, blue and purple metallic promarkers. Finally I added some little pearls for decoration.

 And the other side ...
