I've been having a lot of fun playing with contact paper (of all things) and alcohol inks since discovering Jane Monteith on YouTube! I'm getting the hang of using the properties of the inks and colors in a way that builds distinct layers. What a wonderful challenge! I'm not sure why the hearts edges are rough. The Red Pepper ink I used is an old one that tends toward "sticky" and I'm thinking it grabbed the contact... OR... maybe it had more to do with the wet ink saturating the edges of the adhesive paper.... but guess what? I love the deckled edges look so will chalk it up to "HAPPY ACCIDENT!" 

Contact paper with ink is definitely something I'll be sharing with my Open Studio group on May 4th at the Tifton Museum of Arts and Heritage! Anyone who has taken Following The Ink, my beginner's workshop/studio, can register for Open Studio. As luck would have it, I'm running a beginner's group earlier that same day! Check the museum's website for information. 

My materials: Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks, white ceramic tile, contact paper, applicator sponges, and scissors.
