Live Big

Hello and so happy you stopped by.
I'm trying out a new-to-me technique called
Alcohol Marker Marbling
(the link takes you to Splitcoast Stampers)

 This is a very simple technique using alcohol based markers like Copics.
Here is what I did to create my card.

I took a plastic sandwich bag and coloured onto it with my Copic markers in purple and blues.
I then sprayed it with a good amount of rubbing alcohol and then dabbed my photo paper into the wet ink.  I was left with a lovely, unique looking bkg.
The piece dried very quickly, so I placed it into my Misti and stamped the thistles and the sentiment.
Pretty simple CAS card.


Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
Have a great weekend.

    Your sentiment is perfect for your artsy background and stamped thistle. Looks like a fun and easy technique. TFS Karen.

    Sounds like a great simple way to do an interesting background. And a good way to use those Copic markers I rarely use! Love your colours and the thistle stamps.

    LOVE the colours of your alcohol marker background Karen. Such a fun sounding technique. Of course, I'm in love with this thistle, so think it's absolutely perfect on every card you use it on. xx

    I had to sit right down and try it, Karen. It didn't turn out quite as good as yours but it's a fun and easy technique.
