Hi
Valentine's Alcohol ink panel with a difference
Valentine's day for me doesn't always have to be about red, pink and candy - sometimes it can just be about having fun, making art and using your favourite colours. This project is one of those lets just have fun moments using what we love. I am yet undecided if it will form part of an art journal page or a card, but for now I just love it!
I used some of my favourite Couture Creations Alcohol inks available. I can't wait to get my hand on all the new Alcohol inks coming my way soon - and just maybe that will spark a very bright and neon pink Valentine's day.
Step 1 - I created my background using a variety of colours on Yupo paper.
Step 2 - Once I was happy with my background, I placed my Yupo paper in my Stamp Press and used StazOn ink to stamp several image overlapping onto the background.
Step 3 - By overlapping my image I created a fun and informal artistic look - just the way I like it. I stamped the word "love" separately and trimmed it smaller then adhered it on top of my heart stamp.
A quick and easy artistic panel with only a hint of soft pink - but filled with plenty of love! for all things Couture Creations.
Until next time - wishing you a wonderful and happy day filled with love - no matter the colour!
Hi everyone, Jowilna here today and I am showing a great technique of Repurposing older patterned papers with Couture Creations heat activated foils.
Sharing how I use my older patterned papers together with the Couture Creations heat activated foils to create a bright and shimmering card. In a few easy steps I transform my patterned papers into something that is hardly recognizable. Showing you that even older paper ranges can be useful and make amazing projects. And by simply scrunching up your foils you automatically add some extra interest with a fun and playful texture and patterned effect. Here is my technique video showing how to achieve this wonderful result.
What I love about painting with Alcohol inks is that you can achieve so much interest and depth - combining different shades of greens and gold together. Quick and easy giving me the much loved watercolour effect that I love so much.
You can watch my quick video on my YouTube channel and see how I created this painted effect.

Hi everyone , welcome back and it's my turn on the Couture Creations blog today
Today on the blog I am sharing this single page layout using the gorgeous Steampunk Dreams range. I fell in love with it even before I had seen the entire range - what got my attention first was the amazing "wing" die. Yip, I am a sucker for wings and this one is the most beautiful ever.
I used some of the patterned paper and cut out the flowers to use on my layout. The wings were foiled on 2 of the patterned papers to give some dimension to the layered wings.
The top wing was cut down smaller and layered using foam tape for dimension.
Clusters of flowers layered using foam tape to create different heights.
A few resin elements to add to the steampunk feel, with some coloured art stones.
On my background I added some brown ink stamped using a plastic packet to break the whiteness. Thank you for stopping by today - hope you are inspired by this gorgeous range with its beautiful elements filled with possibilities. Until next time Jowilna x
