WOW 🤩 WOW 🤩 WOW 🤩 Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you create these gorgeous, beautiful,and stunning backgrounds. But, then you made them into incredibly beautiful card’s. I really wouldn’t want to part with them. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags ❤❤❤
Oh my goodness I LOVE these! I am saving this so I can come back to it. Each piece was so exciting and unique I can hardly believe it. I also love your style of teaching, so low key and informative. Thank you so much for broadening my knowledge. Who would have thought lifting ink could have such great results? Keep teaching us.
Of every alcohol ink background I've seen the different crafters make, the first one that you showed with the dotting was seriously the best one I have seen.
This is by far the best tutorial I’ve seen on working with alcohol inks! You create the most esthetically pleasing backgrounds. Especially loved the lifted then stamped image. Ta!
Teresa these are beautiful!! I've taken a few classes on inks and have made some pretty things but haven't done any of these techniques and you know I will be!!! Love the one where you made all the tiny dots!! Love adding the foil, have done that before, it makes such a difference. Think my favorite card is the last one, such pretty colors and the card is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your techniques!
Simply fantastic Teresa! I planned to watch just 5 minutes of your clip but I just couldn't press the stop button! I bought the alcohol inks just last week and have already fallen in love with them. Thanks so much for sharing so many of your techniques.
OMGoodness... love the technique using the paint brush and the alcohol... wonderful detail. I really like ALL of the them, but of course the ones with more color are my favorites. When you first did the last one, I wasn't sure I liked it but as you went on, it brought on a bit of Southwest feel for me and then I liked it more and I the 'outline' detail it brought out really caught my eye so its a favorite as well. Thank you so much for sharing.
So many creative ideas for using these inks & such beautiful finished cards. I wondered after you showed using the foil where the ink was not dry & a bit sticky, would the foil work over the areas that you used the ink lifting technique on, or does it not make it sticky.
I'm not sure. It is a little damp/sticky before you buff any residue off. I don't know if it would stick the foil, or indeed if it would dry properly...if it stayed damp then the foil could be rubbed off.
Love this 'lift ink' technique, I've never seen this before. Did you need to blot the stamped area to prevent the alcohol lift ink from dispersing into the surrounding areas? TYSM for sharing these great ideas!
I tried this technique and could not get the image to transfer onto the yupo paper that I covered in alcohol ink, I was only able to get the image to transfer to a clean sheet of Yupo. My stamp was line art only (not flat surfaces), does that make a difference? I'm curious how long you have to hold the stamp onto the yupo paper before the image appears on the alcohol ink. The lift ink pad was just not working for me at all, I even added reinker to the pad and it only helped a little.
Hi, I’m a new subscriber. Beautiful work!!! My question is, how do you seal your work? I did a journal cover using alcohol inks on yupo & the ink ended up rubbing off onto my fingers every time I touched it. Thanks for your help!
I got a set of alcohol inks and some paper similar to yupo but when I used them the ink dried on contact so I couldn’t do anything with it. Is that supposed to happen? I thought you were supposed to be able to make patterns on the paper but I certainly couldn’t do that because as soon as the ink touched the paper it dried.could the heat have any effect on it? Thank in advance for your advice.
I bought mine from here in the UK. www.countryviewcrafts.co.uk/paperartsy-lynne-perrella-rubber-stamp---lpc043-107336-p.asp They do ship to the US (if that's where you are based, but you have to contact them for a shipping estimate). I don't know if there are US stockists, I guess there probably are, but I don't have that information.
