Today I played around with alcohol inks. I am working on a project using them and have been practicing with blending/adding colour/changing effect/adding metal mixatives. They really are quite addictive!! The best thing I've found so far is that if I don't like the colour it's coming out I can just add a different colour or a little blending solution, onto the applicator tool or straight onto the paper, and it changes the whole look of it. And there are so many different colours to choose from, the colour combinations are endless.
I am using Ranger paper specifically designed for the alcohol inks and that also makes a world of difference. I tried using regular glossy paper but the inks soaked in too much and it was impossible to blend them. It's just so worth it to have the right paper.

Beautiful paper! Looking forward to seeing how you use it.
Love the look of those alcohol inks!!
These papers you created are the best! I never heard of these skittles from Pez-a-doodle. I thought you coated Skittles Candy with glitter. Too funny. I thought why would you glitter candy and make it inedible??? They aren't candy, duh on my part!!! They are really pretty glass baubles! Too cool!
;What will you do with the paper? :)
Wow, those papers are beautiful, must have a special project in mind.
