Altenew Alcohol Inks
Altenew has an amazing assortment of alcohol inks. Check out Altenew’s Alcohol Inks Collection for more information. My favorite use of alcohol inks is to make backgrounds. I then die cut these panels using the Craft Your Life flowers.
The Craft a Flower: Garden Rose has two blooms. To make this card, I created panels using: Wisteria and Persian Blue alcohol inks, Rubellite ink and Shadow Creek ink. Once those panels were dry, I used the dies from the Craft a Flower: Garden Rose and glued the pieces together.
Since the flowers are so bold, I wanted to create a subtle background. I used the Foliage stencil and blended FireFly dye ink over it. I then added a sentiment from the Paint a Flower Wood Anemone stamped using Obsidian Ink. I added a border using the Altenew Fine Liner Pen set.
