Unicorns ‘n Rainbows – Essentials by Ellen

Alcohol inks are having a hot comeback! Since I had some non porous Yupo paper I got to work trying out some color combo’s. Ellen Hutson has a Challenge going on so this was perfect timing to work something up. I long since gave up the small collection of alcohol inks I had so tried using my Copic refills and my Copic Colorless Blender Solution.

 

 


Choosing some nice color variegations I ran the cloud and heart dies from the Unicorns n’ Rainbow’s set through my Gemini. Then used Copic markers to color in the Unicorn and the Rainbow images mounting them on Neenah #110 lb Solar white Card stock.

 

 

The clouds came out so magical with the alcohol inks, it just seemed perfect for this kind of look and the hearts, too! My color choices were totally dependent on the refills that I have and then tried to match them as closely as i could to the markers I chose for the images.

Keep Swimming – Essentials by Ellen – Inner Mermaid by Julie Ebersole

An “Action Wobbler” has this Mermaid’s tail flipping. This from a new set in the recent Essentials by Ellen release featuring some very magical sets by Julie Ebersole. Many images on today’s card are from the Inner Mermaid set which pairs nicely with an earlier set called Mermaid’s Tail.  Both have very fun and sassy sentiments that work with nautical themed cards.

Watercoloring seemed perfect for my mermaid, shells and starfish and is one of my favorite ways to color backgrounds or images. It comes together quickly and is so relaxing. I used colored card stock for my background and some random sequins and stars for some magical touches.

Here it is in action:
