Alcohol Ink Bookmarks
Well, I'm finally moved all downstairs. So my first project in the basement craft room is with alcohol inks (of course it is). I loaded up my homemade applicator with a piece of felt and dripped some dots of ink onto it. Next I set up a transparency film (overhead projector film which I actually picked up at the pay by weight thrift store) with the piece of tissue paper it comes with underneath it so I could see what I was doing. Next I just started stamping away. I added and changed colors in sections so that the sheet would change color and mix together throughout, and I would end up with very different colors once I cut the sheet up into bookmarks. Below is the sheet after I stamped and stamped my little heart out. As you can see from the photo above, the ink will look water-colorish sometimes. If you want it to look blended like that, stamp it less. If you want it to be more stippled as it is below--keep stamping. It changes as you go. Just stop when
