Hello! I love making cards with an aurora borealis sky. I’ve done several that you can find on my YouTube Channel. Today, I wanted to see if I could create a Northern Lights effect with Alcohol Inks. It took a few tries, but I am thrilled with the end result.

I really loved experimenting with my alcohol inks to get the look of an aurora borealis. And even though the first two panels weren’t what I was going for, they will look great on a future card. I hope you learned a few things! Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
