Watching YouTube art technique demonstration can lead to purchasing new art materials and then- spending hours trying them out.
I recently ordered some Dylusion Shimmer Inks online. Yesterday's art session resulted in these full-sheet pieces. I used stencils on some, and flicked gold Alcohol Ink spots on others:
which made these 1/2 -sheet notes:
and these Artist Trading Card Backgrounds:
and consequently, these very inky fingers:
OOPS, no photograph available. It did take some scrubbing to remove the ink stains. Note to self: wear painters plastic gloves next time. Since these are spray inks, I highly recommend putting down lots of freezer paper or brown packing paper over the work surface to protect it. I think I will try a spray fixitive now that the pieces are dry, as the ink still comes off when handled.
A cardstock or sturdy paper would also be be better than copy paper as the inks do soak in a bit when wet.
But the colors are SO gorgeous and vivid. I can't wait to use these papers and make more sometime soon.
