Scrappy Tails Crafts | Using Alcohol Inks To Create Wispy & Marbled Backgrounds @scrappytailscrafts8732 | Uploaded March 2021 | Updated October 2024, 23 hours ago.
Today, I stepped out of my comfort zone and created some alcohol ink backgrounds with foiled details. I experimented and found that isopropyl was great to mix with alcohol ink to create beautiful wispy marbled backgrounds. I only used 6 alcohol ink colors, and managed to create 15 completely different looking backgrounds. I also share basic tips on hot foiling. Today's video also showcases the first 3 card designs I made with the backgrounds. Each card looks super artsy and beautiful! Stay tuned for part two where I create 8 more card designs using these beautiful backgrounds.
