I do not profess to be an alcohol ink expert. However, playing with Alcohol ink for nearly 10 years does help me to know this art medium intimately. If you like TIPS, this post will definitely help you look at alcohol ink in a more creative and thoughtful way.

So, Ok... you watched numerous You Tube video on how to create the most BEAUTIFUL and DRAMATIC background.... and you did it.... Now what!!?
For people who love creating the most dramatic and beautiful background, you now have a super inky and coloring marbleized paper. Your next step is to make good use of your alcohol ink paper.
When I saw my alcohol ink paper, I thought this Edged Wildflower Die is perfect for this. I made a card with pattern paper (alcohol ink).
The key to success of using Alcohol Ink paper is to pay attention to the colors, textures and placement of the colors. Once you have figured all that out, you can proceed to create your art piece.

I love the "movement" the alcohol inks give-- great colors!
Great tips! I wonder how the bubbles were made? Or do you think it is from salt--like with watercolors? These cards are gorgeous!
