Alcohol Ink and Grungepaper






So, I wanted to type up a little post here using alcohol inks and Grungepaper!

This month's Scraps of Darkness kit includes 6 sheets of Grungepaper in the Grunge Add-on, I love Grungepaper and wanted to share this quick and easy technique!

You will need:

Grungepaper element

Alcohol inks

Blending solution

Applicator

Crackle accents


Squeeze a good amount (2 seconds) of ink onto the applicator. I also used a couple drops of silver mixative. I added a bit of blending solution and tapped the ink onto the element.

I coated the edges with Crackle Accents. That activated with the silver mixative and turned the crackle medium orange, which actually turned out pretty cool!

Alcohol ink dries very quickly, but with the Blending Solution, you can manipulate it and make the color just what you want!



Thanks for visiting my blog!!

Oh, and I cut the elements with the Oct. 31 Limited Edition Cricut Cart!

Happy Creating!
