More Cards

Yesterday I spent a great afternoon at my favourite craft/card store learning about using Alcohol Inks for making backgrounds on cards.
This is a great technique and really gives a card pizzaz.
It is amazing how it works--you have this wooden applicator that you put a felt square on to and you drop different coloured inks onto the felt plus a fluid that helps them to spread (I forget what it's called) you then pounce the block over your glossy card and end up with a beautiful mottled background which you can then stamp over.
I used a Stazon ink pad to stamp with -which is designed for shiny surfaces.
The first 2 cards were done in this style.
On the third card we used the technique on acetate --the inks were placed on one side and then it was flipped over and stamped on the other-it was then mounted on a piece of white card stock.



The last card has a distressed ink background and the little film strips were also coloured in with distress inks-this was a great technique.
