fun with sizzix & alcohol inks

every once in awhile i'll start scrapping and get sidetracked making an embellishment. like today when i was using the big kick to emboss and die cut shapes for an upcoming project. i had a stack of acrylic packaging that i have saved, and decided to use that to make "ghost" shapes. except i wanted to make them show up a little bit. in the past i have painted the edges, but the paint was across the room. (lazy scrapper alert!)

however, the alcohol inks and staz-on ink were within reach.  i did figure out that if you want to use both staz-on and alcohol inks on the same piece it helps to use one ink per side.

here are my favorites:

alcohol bird & vine

alcohol flower

why does my scanner cut things off? i had it right in the middle. arg. all four edges of the frame are wavy.

alcohol frame

red alcohol leaf

Hi Angie! What's new with you??? If you have a chance, come say "Hi" the weekend Shelly and I are doing the crop in North Liberty. You could also shop a bit since we are having vendors. And let me know if you ever need a cropping buddy!!
