Hi everyone! I'm popping to today to share a fun little video tutorial with you all on creating simple Alcohol Ink Backgrounds! You can use this technique with any image to create some visual interest and it works great on stand-alone colouring pieces or as backgrounds for your colouring and cardmaking projects.
Materials used
- Selection of Alcohol Inks
These can be any brand and in any colour but I've used my Copic Various Ink Refills in colours B99, B91, BG01, and BV02. Try to pick a dark and light base colour (I've used a dark and light blue) with a few brighter accents as a good starting background
- Rubbing Alcohol
I've used Isocol which is 100% Isopropyl. You can use your Colourless Blender Fluid if you have this.
- Small egg cup or bowl to put the rubbing alcohol in
- White Gel or Paint pen, or a small paint brush and white paint
The image I've used here is Smells Like First Snow by The East Wind - isn't she gorgeous for your Winter/Christmas projects! :D As part of our Advent Calendar of Giveaways in our Facebook Group, today you can receive 35% off all stamps from The East Wind store using coupon code KNCADVENT2016 *Valid until December 31
________________
I can't wait to see how you go with this project... make sure to share your creations on our Facebook Group or Instagram so we can see! If you have any questions or feel stuck with any component, please don't hesitate to private message me on Facebook or email me at alyce@kitandclowder.com so we can go through this in a bit more detail.

Hi everyone! I'm so excited to announce our October Create and Learn Online Colouring Classes are here! We ALREADY have some coloured up versions by our class members over on our facebook page... everyone is doing SO well :D
Here are the two projects we are colouring up this month. Both have gorgeous images by Faery Ink. The first one here is our Markers project, and the second is our Pencils project. These specific samples were coloured with Copics (top one) and Prismacolor Pencils, but we always give you the colour combinations for all different brands :)
There is no drawing or anything scary... just colouring! You will learn all different techniques so don't just think of this as one image; there are loads of tips and tricks that you can use individually on all of your stamps :)
If you'd like to colour along with us this month you can register HERE! :) Hope to see you there!

If you would like to learn more about colouring please pop over to my colouring classes - I'd love to have you join in! :) We are also coming up to celebrating 5000 members...make sure you join us in our Facebook Group next weekend for the celebrations!
I hope you have enjoyed my project today!! Thank you so much for stopping by! xx
Sometimes I do :) I think everyone experiences feelings of insecurity or a lack of confidence at some point... and we need to take a look at what is influencing us to think like this? Often we have so much going on in our lives that we can take out any negativity on ourselves and allow it to affect even the things we love. I see this a lot with people who take the classes and sometimes I wish they could take a step back and see how well they are improving or how lovely a person they are :)
I have created a new class centred around this to help with using art as healing. The class is all about Creative Confidence; using a series of creative and healing exercises to inspire positivity, creativity, and understanding of ourselves.
We are celebrating reaching 4000 members this weekend on our Kit and Clowder facebook group... so we are going to have a special flash offer! For the next 2 days if you purchase a technique class on our online colouring class website, you will receive the Creative Confidence Class and the Lightsource Class for FREE!! :D
I really hope to see you join us there :) Don't forget to head to the facebook group as well as there are a huge amount of discounts to your favourite craft and stamp companies, freebies, challenges, and giveaways. Thank you so much for being a part of this journey with me and hope you continue to enjoy your colouring :)
