Halloween Ink Printed Pictures

I have done these Halloween ink printed pictures before, but they were actually for a Father’s Day present.  These are a lot of fun to make and create a fabulous watercolour effect.

Make sure you follow my Halloween board on Pinterest for more ideas.  Don’t forget to save the pin for later.

To make your own Halloween ink printed pictures you will need:

• Card stock
• Tin foil
• Spray bottle of water
• Felt tip pens*

*Crayola washable pens are great for this.  Do not use sharpies!  Trust me, they won’t work, I tried for you.

You can either draw a picture onto your card stock, using a permanent marker (like a sharpie).  Or you can print out a Halloween picture, I did this option.

Tear off a piece of tin foil that will cover your picture.  Then colour the tin foil in in assorted colours.  This doesn’t have to be neat at all.

When you are happy with that, spray some water onto the foil.  This will make the ink run.

Get your piece of paper and press it (picture side down) onto the tin foil.  Press it firmly to make sure the ink transfers.  Then lift it up and place it onto a flat surface to dry.  You might want to put it onto a piece of newspaper, because if the paper is too thin then the ink can seep through and potentially stain the worksurface.  Ask me how I know this!  Thankfully, washable markers are pretty easy to get off of kitchen work surfaces.
