Getting Alcohol inky with Inkylicious!

It was my baby's birthday in the week (she's 24 now!) and always think I have to get a little arty with her cards, as she is in her final year studying art at Camberwell School of Art in London!  (I'm sure she must laugh when she sees my attempts!  Anyhoo, I resorted to Alcohol, the inky kind as opposed to the drinking kind, and made my background using mostly the light blues/lilacs with some Rose Gold mixative which is such a lovely pinky, goldy, silvery colour as below!

I then hunted out my Inkylicious stamps and thought this eye with it's sentiment would be just perfect for an artist.

I mounted the Yupo piece on a slightly metallic matt and then a dark blue one, and that was it - and quite pleased I was too!

Happy Birthday my lovely!

Hugs, Juliexx (Although I want to say Mum!)

Alcohol Ink Card

I made this card for my daughter's partner which I thought would be appropriate as he was going to be a Daddy.  His birthday came and went in a bit of a blur as Holly was in labour but his beautiful daughter Violet was born the day after on the 17th, and rather overshadowed his.  I don't think he really minded though! 

I love the drip technique of working with these inks, thanks to my bloggy friend, Jane Clempson!  

A simple card to start with but very effective and then I just added a Lili of the Valley big sentiment.

Our new and first grandchild, Violet Lily Rose is a little treasure and asleep in her moses basket here with me now while mum has a rest too, lucky Nannie I am!!
