Magical Mermaid Alcohol Lift

Here’s the Stampin Up set Magical Mermaid with an alcohol ink background. I dropped alcohol inks on my paper, used Some alcohol blending solutions to move it around – and kept playing until I liked the results!

On this one, I did the same thing using only blue alcohol inks. Then I stamped it with some Alcohol Lift ink. It removes the ink from the paper. You can get two prints from this technique if you immediately stamp another piece of paper with the stamp. I would show you that piece if I hadn’t spilled coffee on it! Anyway……It’s fun to play! The mermaids were colored with Stampin Blends and the tail was coated with Shimmer pen. Hugs, Fran

Paper Pros August Challenge – Anything Goes!

Anything goes?  OK!  The Paper Pros are playing this month with whatever we want!  I chose the Karen Burniston Katherine Label and Mermaid and Princess dies to create an underwater scene.  I started with a background created with Distress Oxide inks and then stamped the vines from Magical Mermaid along the bottom. I added some color with my Copic markers and the sentiment is on vellum from Magical Mermaids.  The little fish are from the Stampin Up Under the Sea die.  The mermaid tails are from the KB Mermaid and Princess die- colored with Copics and highlighted with a white gel pen.

Inside I continued the scene the same way, adding a full mermaid near the sentiment.

Here’s a close up of the sentiment on vellum.  Make sure to check out what the other designers have done this month!  Hugs, Fran
