Tutorial: Alcohol inks & water by Sandi!

Hi everyone, Sandi from Slightly Off Center here with a pretty cool tutorial on a new way to use alcohol inks.  I saw this on You Tube and it is sooo easy and produces such pretty results that I wanted to share it with you.

First of all you need:


A plastic tub of cool tap water, a selection of alcohol inks, a craft mat (or in my case since I don't own one yet, I used wax paper) and some paper......I used some manilla shipping tags.

Add some drops of alcohol ink to the water in a random pattern:



Then I took my tag and slipped the whole thing in the water and pulled it out.  Both sides will receive a beautiful, colorful random pattern of ink.






Let your paper or tag dry on wax paper or a craft mat and use it on a project.  Here is my tag used on a birthday I recently made for my baby sister:

Thanks for following along and I look forward to seeing your creations using this quick and easy technique!
