Alcohol Ink Jack O'Lantern
The last time I was at Dollar Tree, I saw this metal flower pot and the first thing that popped into my head was "I could totally alcohol ink that." My husband was suspicious, but for a buck, he just shrugged his shoulders and we kept shopping. Of course I didn't need another decorative flower pot, so I had to come at this from a different angle. With Halloween fast approaching, I decided I'd try to make a candy bowl. I brought out all of my orange and gold alcohol inks, my craft mat, my ink stamper, and some wide painter's tape. Using a scissors, I cut out a basic Jack O'Lantern face and stuck it onto my flower pot. Then I loaded up my applicator stamp with all four shades of orange and started stamping. When I first applied the ink, it went on in big patches, as you can see above. It's more of a water color blotchiness. I like a more stippled look, so I kept stamping until I covered the whole container and then came back over
