I used chip board letters and covered them with regular kitchen foil on this page. I was hoping to get more texture with the foil but I realized I had the Tim Holtz texture hammer and so I had at it. The texture hammer worked great. I will have to hide the hammer from the men in this house. They always want my cool tools and they don't put them back.
I then applied gesso to the page. After that dried I applied the alcohol ink. I also added a kirigami cut out. I like that the foil shines through the alcohol inks.
The inks did bleed through to the back of the page so I will have to paint over that.
Gorgeous effects Angela! I have a friend who does amazing things with alcohol inks.
ReplyDeleteVery Kewl!! Love it! Now I have to get my alcohol inks out and try this!

This is wonderful! I love the word you choose and the fact that you used regular kitchen foil to achieve the look. AND I too have the problem of my husband stealing my cool tools - always have to hide my cutter bees!
