WW: Alcohol ink magic

All of the previous days' projects led me to this frame which I wanted to make colorful and vibrant with Tim Holtz Adirondack alcoohol inks, blending solution and stickles.

WW: Mini Album

I have noticed that inspiration seems to strike me in the most wonderful of ways. This was the case with my latest creation! Inspired by a picture mat I bought at Wal-Mart...



Rotated and distressed with Tim Holtz alcohol inks, stickles, and grungeboard elements I have to say I am incredibly pleased with it.

I embellished the grungeboard with alcohol ink and stickles

I used flocked patterned paper for the back cover which gives it a vintage-y look

Patterned Paper: Kimberly Poloson Flocked Cabana Blooms

Embellishments: Tim Holtz grungeboard, 7Gypsies gaffer tape, Tim Holtz alcohol inks, Tim Holtz Stickles, Picture Mat

Altered project: Distressed tea canister

My favorite drink is 4C Green Tea and recently I began buying these tall canisters instead of the single packets. I liked the plastic canister so much I decided to take the labels off and try to customize it with alcohol inks and paper.

I added alcohol inks with the Tim Holtz distressing tool (red pepper, eggplant, moss) and once dry i streaked it with the felt pad itself. It felt a little like finger painting and it went on perfectly smooth.

A few scraps of patterned paper and sticker letters...

I added an epoxy sticker to the lid and VOILA!

Patterned Paper: Stampin Up DS Berry Bliss

Letters: American Crafts thickers, American Crafts LAX

Sticker: Marah Johnson epoxy
