Distress ink background

Here is a second attempt at a shaker card and my first time using alcohol markers and distress inks. (Definitely jumping in headfirst lol) I decided to create an underwater themed card using this adorable Jillibean Soup stamp set, Whale Done. Distress inks are so fun to work with, especially on watercolor or Bristol smooth paper. Copics however, definitely take practice. After this card, I almost decided to give up on alcohol markers, which was almost a relief because it would've saved me a lot of $$$ lol. However, practice makes perfect and I easily fell in love with them. Luckily, I found that Blick Studio Brush Markers are an amazing alternative that give very similar results. In the end, I actually really like the way this card turned out. :)

Thanks for stopping by!
