Hi there! Today I’m sharing a colorful project where I experimented with Alcohol Inks. I’ve been watching a bunch of YouTube videos and learning so much. I was so inspired to try this “wet in wet” technique. For this technique you generously wet your Yupo paper with Blending Solution first. Then I added three stripes of Alcohol Inks in the colors: Stream, Flamingo & Sunshine Yellow. You basically just tilt the panel around and let the inks blend and work their magic.
After the ink blended panel was completely dry I stamped it using the Grid Play Grid background cling stamp with Alcohol Lift Ink. I added the sweet Picture Book Panda and sentiment from Birthday Palooza to finish it off.
Here’s a video to show you my “wet in wet” alcohol ink experiment.
So much fun! Hope you enjoyed the tutorial! Thanks so much for stopping by!
WOOT!

August 29, 2018 at 9:28 pmAfter you lifted the Alcohol ink, did you stamp the “lifted” ink onto another surface? Two backgrounds from one process! I think a multicolored grid would be really pretty.
