TEXTURED ALCOHOL INK

Alcohol ink is normally used on a smooth background but it can look amazing when used on a textured background as the ink will run along with any barriers that it meets and can pool in unexpected ways.  The addition of Pinata metallics adds another level of interest.  These samples are all created on gloss card stock and the texture is plain old white Elmers glue that has been heated to cause it to puff up, pop and ooze.  Take care not to burn the card.

"Shopping"
(The metal heartbeat embellishment is normally
silver, but has been made a gold colour by using 
the Pinata Brass over it, as it will stick to metal.)

"Fear"

"Volume"

"Melody"

"Sleep"

Below are some sample pieces before any addition
of pictures/embellishments so you can see
the texture.
