Grungy Birthday !

 Playing with alcohol inks !

Made a grungy card for a birthday.

I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos and they make it look so easy !

I guess I'll have to practise lots !

It's fun !


Using Ranger pitch black, honeycomb and gilded alcohol inks along with 99% isopropyl alcohol and alcohol blending solution on Yupo paper and Tim Holtz blower.  I found the grungy looking "Happy Birthday" stamp in my collection and used a alcohol lift off ink pad to remove some of the ink so it left a lighter area for stamping.  I actually like it !

Here are links to the supplies I used :

Tim Holtz 8x10 Yupo Paper - White

Tim Holtz Pitch Black Alcohol Ink

Tim Holtz Honeycomb Alcohol Ink

Tim Holtz Gilded Alloy Alcohol Ink

Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink Blending Solution

Tim Holtz Ink Air Blower

Versafine Archival Ink - Black

Simon Says Stamp Black Card

I bought the Isopropyl Alcohol from Amazon as I could not source it locally.

I hope you can give alcohol inks a try !

Thank's for stopping by !

Don't you just love it when a product or technique is revived ?!  I've had a pad of unused yupo paper and these alcohol inks sat on a shelf for ages and never used them as I was never sure how to, that is until 
now !  Tim had one of his fabulous "lives" over on YouTube about a week or so ago about alcohol inks and surfaces and I watched as I was curious.  Well ! I couldn't wait to play !  How exciting is this !

I did buy separately a bottle of isopropyl alcohol and also used the blending solution.  On the parts where the inks were still tacky, I rubbed over some gold foil.  The gold foil I used was the gold foil transfer sheets.  Just gently rub and remove and the foil sticks to the tacky parts leaving beautiful veining.  Give it a try I can guarantee its fun !
