Choosing the Perfect Alcohol Ink Color Combinations
One of the fascinating aspects of working with alcohol ink is how effortlessly the colors blend to create entirely new shades. But finding the right color combinations isn’t always as easy as it sounds! I’ve had my share of trial and error, sometimes washing entire projects clean because the colors didn’t come together quite as I’d hoped. I often turn to Pinterest and Instagram for inspiration, but it can be tough to find examples that provide both the exact color combinations and a sample of how they’ll look together.
That’s why I’ve decided to create my own resource—a collection of color samples from my projects. Not only will this help me remember what colors I’ve used for future reference, but I hope it will also serve as a guide for others exploring alcohol ink art. I’ll be posting photos of completed work along with the color details and where I purchased each shade. Stay tuned as I share these combinations—I hope they’ll inspire your creativity, too!
All of the color combinations will include affiliate links for the inks. If you should decide to use one of these links I will earn a very small commission at no cost to you.
I also have a group Pinterest Board if you are interested in contributing to that. The link is here,
and will take you right to the board.
