LOVE, Forever and Always: Alcohol Pearl Inks

Mixed Medium with Shari Carroll

Welcome everyone! Happy Monday!!! I have a mixed media project that I hope inspires you to play and discover the possibilities of the new Ranger Alcohol Pearl inks

I got a set and went to town experimenting on Yupo paper, the results we amazing. The pearls come alive once they hit the paper. 

I tried out a color palette that works well with each other and is pleasing to the eye. For this project, I used Alcohol Pearl inks in Villainous, Tranquill, Sublime, and Celestial. I also used regular Alcohol Inks in Patina and Turquoise. I was able to get the colors to move around on the Yupo using Tim Holtz Blending Solution and a lower temp heat tool

Here’s a close-up to try to capture the gorgeous glimmer. It is even more stunning in real life!! As a note, I was able to get amazing effects on Vellum as well!!! I can’t wait to play some more!!
