For Lydia'a Get Drunk - alcohol ink Bauble
After watching the tutorial for alcohol ink bauble, I decided to use vellum instead of Yupo paper.
I dropped Stream & Caramel inks on a piece of vellum that is actually embossed with stars. Even though you can't see them, the texture is there.
Once the inks dried, I dropped gold mixative on it, then blew through a straw to move it around. The gold is much thicker than AI so I had to blow pretty hard to get it to move. Needless to say, I got a little light headed, so I guess I felt a little drunk! Lol
I cut the vellum with a circle die. Then cut a smaller O ring in a pale blue denim DP.
I die cut the J & Y in the same DP to complete the word JOY.
Once I laid it out, the vellum piece reminded me of the earth, so I finished with die cutting To The World words and tucked dk turquoise CS under the white CS. The base is a lighter shade of turquoise.
This was really fun and will use alcohol inks again.... probably skip the straw blowing!
