You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
Hey there! Congrats on making it to another Friday! Today I want you to think about flowers. Delicate flowers, bold flowers, flowers of unusual colors, your favorites, just weeds...get the idea?
Take those thoughts and marry them to alcohol inks. Drizzle your alcohol blending solution and alcohol inks onto an appropriate surface (tiles, Yupo paper, glossy paper designed for alcohol inks, etc.). Take a can of compressed air and have fun pushing the inks around into a flower shape. You can use a straw and just blow the ink if you don't have compressed air.
Here is a short video I've produced to help you visualize the process.
Remember to use the keyword MIX278 when uploading your creations to the gallery, come back and post a link, and let us "ooooooh" and "ahhhhhh" over your works of art!

This looks like enormous fun. Not something to start before work or I might end up missing my bus! I'm not so comfortable with the "never know what you are going to get" type techniques but I'm certainly looking forward to trying this out. Thanks, Ky.
LOL at Linda's comment. Glad I didn't try this before work as I'd definitely have run out of time before ending up with anything halfway usable, and my hands are a MESS.
My second entry to the challenge - a little white sauce dish I made a blown alcohol flower inside - I actually made this earlier this month - but wanted to share it today as it is the same technique! MIX278 Jewelry Dish by artystamper - at Splitcoaststampers
