Inky weekend

Good morning everyone and welcome to our Inky weekend!

Krafty Girl Melany here. Let's have some Inky fun with the Krafty Kolours Hybrid Inks! Today, I will show you how I made some backgrounds with the Krafty Kolours, rubbing alcohol and masking fluid.

Krafty Kolours work great with water, but I wanted to see how they were going to react with alcohol.

So first, here's everything you'll need (and, not shown on the picture: Wicked Black Ink pad, ink foam applicator, adhesive remover and paper trimmer)

I made 3 combos. The first one is made with Mermaid Melody, Lovely Lagoon and Yummy Yellow. The second one is made with Marvellous Mocha, Straw and Mossy Meadow. The third one is made with Raspberry Rose, Purple Pansy and Purple Petunia.

So, let's begin!

First, draw your pattern with masking fluid
