Brushstrokes Challenge

 

I haven't shared the card I made for the Ranger September challenge. We had to use alcohol inks with a brush or marker instead of the usual applicator method.
For this card the background was made using alcohol inks in the traditional method. It was then overstamped with the gorgeous Hero Arts butterfly using archival ink. I filled in the spaces of the wings using alcohol ink & a fine brush. I have never tried using alcohol inks in this way and I was so impressed at how easy it was!

Thank goodness I never promised to update my blog often as I would have gone back on it already! Here is a card that I finished today, it has been in my head for ages. I was quite pleased with how the card turned out.

The stamps are Inkadinkadoo and Hero Arts. The background was made with alchohol inks onto cream matt cardstock for the bottom layer and some cream pearl paper for the top layer. I went around the edge with copper dabbers and some more alcohol ink. My friend Marlene produced something similar at stamp club recently and I had to give it a go.
