To start, a few card fronts. It's really difficult to get a good photograph of these. The color variations and the metallic inks just don't show up well on film. I guess what I'm trying to say here is that these are much more impressive in person. I just love working with these inks. The results are always serendipitous and original.
This one I liked so much, I had to frame it. I even added a gold metallic rub-on tint on the frame to highlight the gold tones in the print.Well, I hope to be back very soon with more to share. In the meantime, Happy Valentine's Day.

Beautiful, Michelle! Love what you've created with the Alcohol Inks. That truly inspires me as (believe it or not) I have never used the inks before and just bit the bullet and purchased some! Have seen Tim Holtz on youtube but appreciate you sharing your talent and beautiful artwork!! Thanks so much
You are going to love them Rochelle!
Michelle these are lovely. I've never tried this. It looks like I've really been missing out on a good thing. I would have framed the beautiful seashell, also.
These are so neat, I love the blues!
Hi Michelle,
I love alcohol inks and i use themto color tiles and make coasters with them. I then stamp on the background of the alcohol inks with my image stamp and stazon black ink. After they dry I spray with transparent enamel spray about 3 coats then put cork on the backof the tile so they won't slip. Really nice gifts. Another thing I learned at a convention was dooing about the same thing but gluing a clothes pin (spring type) on the backof the coaster to use to hold notes.
Thanks for the tips Audrey.
These are gorgeous.
I found your link when searching for Kimono cards. Wonderful UTube on that as well.
Will be bookmarking you thanks for the inspirations
