Alcohol inks journal - Simple beauty

Hi and welcome once more :0). This is a second die cutted layout in my DIY disc bound alcohol inks 8"x 8" (ca. 20x20 cm) journal. 

I wanted to use my left overs from yesterday's alcohol inks journal project. This time in a more simple way which is a little bit more my cup of tea :0) Again same background papers, one die from Elizabeth craft desings, no stamps and black glaze gel pen.

Thank you again for your visit and see you next time :0)

Alcohol inks journal - Just create and be happy

Hi and welcome :0). Today I would like to share an another layout in my DIY disc bound alcohol inks 8"x 8" (ca. 20x20 cm) journal. 

This time I went out of my comfort zone. I decided to use just dies on one of my alcohol inked and foiled backgrounds I made earlier on Yupo paper, no stamps allowed :0) This was very challenging. The background papers with alcohol inks are so bright and nice that it is easy to make them and difficult to use them in combination with something else :D

Anyway this is my first attempt with orange/yellow and green papers (in the real life all colours are much much brighter). A birds die is from Elizabeth craft designs, stars from Altenew, asian sign from Tattered Lace and circle with clouds from Hero arts.

So that's it for today, thank you a lot for your visit and see you next time :0)

Alcohol inks journal - "Just dance like no one's watching"

Hi and welcome :0). Today I would like to share my new DIY disc bound alcohol inks 8"x 8" (ca. 20x20 cm) journal. 

These DIY journals are highly popular these days and I saw some awesome ones on Youtube. It is a perfect option for my alcohol inks background on Yupo paper. I wanted to try the alcohol inks on this surface for such a long time and I finally found enough courage to do it and I'm very happy I did it :0)

I splashed an Alcohol inks blending solution from Ranger on the clean Yupo, than dropped in some colours of alcohol inks (blending solution makes them movable easily and longer), blow them around with a straw and let them dry after I was satisfied with the mix they've created. Because alcohol inks can be a bit sticky on the places with higher concentration of colours, I used this feature and rubbed metallic foil over these spots, so the foil become a part of the background. The dryer the inks are, the less of the foil will stick on the page.

I was so thrilled, that I've created 7 backgrounds at once, with different colours and foils :D I hope I will use them all for my new art journal.

First page is full of ballerinas from Hunkydory and Visible image dancing in the moonlight and I only regret that it is almost impossible to show, the silver foil on the page, it is really wonderful effect :0)

So that's it for today, thank you a lot for your visit and see you next time :0)
