Pearly Grunge



Pearly Grunge




This is my first play with Pearlescent  Alcohol Inks and I have to say I am really impressed with them.

Products used in this project :
  • A selection of Pearlescent Alcohol Inks 
  • Black Stazon
  • Silk Card 2 pieces cut at 6" x 4" 
  • Black cartridge paper
  • Floral Grunge Stamp 
  • Amazing Mackintosh Words for Sentiment
  • Blending solution

To make this card it really could be any simpler, add your inks randomly over one piece of your silk card and then using the blending solution to help the inks to blend drip this over your inks in the centre of your spots of ink. Whilst the ink is still wet using your second piece of card, silk side face down place this on top of your wet ink pressing down firmly and without taking too long over this process peel the two apart. You then have two pieces of inked card, choose which one you prefer for your stamped image and keep the other one to cut a small piece of for your sentiment. 

Stamp your main image onto your pearlised silk card. Then stamp your sentiment and mat both of these onto black card and mount onto a card of choice. 

I love the way the texture is added to the image simply in the way you pull your card apart after sandwiching the two together ..... so very effective and perfect for a quick last minute make.

Thank You for Looking 

Love Doreen
