Welcome Back
I have been playing with alcohol ink, I have had my ink for a couple of years but not really made friends with it. Until a couple of weeks ago. I read a tutorial describing using it over card painted with metalic paint and decided to give alcohol inks a try over Mirror board.
I used quite a thick mirror board and applied Rust and Terracotta ink over gold mirror board using the apllicator tool and got this;
I used the blending solution over the ink to give it the marbled look. Make sure you work on a craft sheet to protect your table. Use the Blending solution to clean any excess ink of the sheet once you have finished.

Fantastic idea to use alcohol ink on mirror cs. The rust colour looks so lovely! Hope it’s alright if I link to you? Thanks for the gorgeous inspiration! :O)
