Alcohol Ink backgrounds with Stampin Blends markers & Wink of Stella 

Patty, this is by far the best alcohol ink technique I have seen! I have not been impressed until now! Thanks for sharing. Love, love, love all of the cards! I

What a fun technique, and beautiful cards. I think the succulent colors with Highland Heather is my favorite.

The succulent one was stunning!

I liked the Seahorse and the Friends Forever cards most, but they all are amazing! Thanks for the video!

Those are just gorgeous. They are so addicting.

Oh Patty! The alcohol technique is just gorgeous! Thanks for sharing what you did for your cards and tips!

Such beautiful cards. Thanks for explaining this awesome technique. I am a blue/green person, but now I really like the pinks too!!

Found the video!! Thanks Patty. And don’t worry, anyone who makes cards is on RU-vid and will be alerted that you are live, if you go that route. You can also route folks from Facebook. You are my all time favorite SU Demonstrator. Not only are you generous with your time and knowledge, but you are genuine. I know I’ve said it before, but THANK YOU and please don’t ever change!

After I viewed this video I searched for more involving this process. I have to tell you, yours is the best and the one I will seek out when I try this beautiful background image.

WOW, ALL are my favorite!!! 😄

The hit link with Hello Friend is gorgeous! All of them are.

I agree; the final alcohol splatters really make the card pop!

Beautiful alcohol ink effect!

Patty. Fabulous cards. I have tried this technique and it is addictive. I learned some cool new techniques from your demonstration, so time to play again. Thank you.

Patty, I forgot to add that MY FAVES are the THOUGHTFUL THANKS w/the Polished Pink n’ Artistically Inked die as well as the THANKS w/the Succulent die overlay! I gravitated to those two yet ALL are lovely n’ eye catching! Once again, THANK YOU! More SMILES! :-))))

These are beautiful and easy! My favorites are the blues and greens.

Wow! They are all so great- especially loved the wink of stella

Your cards are absolutely stunning!! Great tutorial and cannot pick a favourite as they are just gorgeous! Will look forward to your blog. TFS

I love this. It looks so easy I can't wait to try it! I really like the blues and greens the most.

Oh my goodness ! I truly love watching you and your cards are fantastic. I cant pick a favorite 🤗☺

This is a fun technique. I suggest brushing the wink of stella onto the pink flower diecuts to bring out the sparkle spots on the background.

Love, love, this! After church I’m going to play.

I LOVE your backgrounds and I appreciate sooooo much that you made samples for us as to how to use them. 💕🌸💕

I really do love your techniques with alcohol!! Marsha

What an excellent video. The best yet. I’ve tried this technique but will do it again more with your hints. Love it all.

Love them all!

That’s such a cool technique.

Gorgeous!

Love them.

absolutely gorgeous!

All so beautiful!

Love this technique!!

Once again, great ideas. I loved them all. Thank you.😎

These are beautiful. Thanks for showing how to do it step by step.

Wow! Patty this is so awesome!!!!!

They are so beautiful can’t choose thanks for sharing

I loved the blue/green happy birthday card. I can't wait to try this technique. Thanks for sharing this

Beautiful, can't wait to try this technique!

I just found your RU-vid channel through Bloglovin and joined your blog too. I love all of your alcohol backgrounds and the succulent card is my favorite. What a great technique using alcohol markers on velum and the Wink of Stella for glimmer. Your directions are so easy to follow. I can't wait to try your technique.

Super technique. Thank you for inspiring me. I am a blue and green color grouping.

Awesome. Love this!

Great ideas… Love your cards!! Esp blues with sea life. Thank you!,

I love the techniques and the beautiful cards. Thank you!

Thank you Patty for sharing. The alcohol ink backgrounds are absolutely stunning. Will definitely have to try this technique.

Gorgeous and such a fun technique! TFS the inspiration!

That is really cool! Thanks for showing us how to make gorgeous cards!!

I loved your demo....I loved the pink colors...wow! Great Job Patty!

Love this, thanks Patty!

These are beautiful. Thanks for sharing ❤️

These cards are just beautiful!!! They are exactly what I wanted alcohol markers!!! It’s always so beautiful no matter what color palette! Nicely done!!! Although I do hate that the blends are not even close to the cap color! My ivory I used to color a cow a tan color!!!

This is so cool! Such a wow impact technique! Thanks Patty!

Love them all 💖 Your enjoyment is very contagious. Thanks so much ❤️

Fabulous Patty, I love doing this technique, every time its different. Thanks so much for the tips too. Sandy

Patty I have used the Wink of Stella on my backgrounds but going back and splattering the blobs is a great idea. I also put my alcohol in a aqua brush and splatter that rather than misting.

Gorgeous ❤️

Love it Patty! Can't wait to give it a try

Love this technique and the videos really helped me understand how you did it and I will try it. Thanks.

Love these Patty. Can't wait to give it a try.

That makes a great background!

Love this..can’t wait to give it a try❤️

Patty I LOVE YOUR TECHNIQUES OF ALL THE ones I have seen! BEAUTIFUL SAMPLES! Love the Cotton Candy ones! Can not wait to try this tomorrow! Thank you for the Inspiration 💕 Lori

Beautiful technique patty! Thanks for sharing it with us

I love this technique and have gone a bit crazy trying it out too. Thanks for a super video Patty.

Love this technique. Like the framed magenta madness card.

Very cool

These cards are absolutely beautiful! I love the blues and greens. The seahorse made this card so amazing. I can't wait to try this technique.

The Wink of Stella is a great idea. I was at Big Lots and saw a can of the spray that you clean your keyboard with. I wondered how that air would work on this technique and bought a can. It works wonderfully. It moves the alcohol and also dries it.

I like them all, but the Succulants diecut over the green and "purple" just seems so Right!

They're ALL my favorite, but I love how you demonstrated the succulent die over-lay, as well as the under-the-sea one. Good job.

Great cards Patty so pretty I need to try this one 😍

I used The water Color Stamp set and they came out great. Now I have two methods. Thanks.

Gorgeous, gorgeous cards. That technique is so much fun. Adding the wink really enhanced the design. It’s hard to choose my favorite, but the succulent card looked very artistic. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful ideas and creations.

OMG, Patty, SO MUCH FUN!! I LOVE THIS TECHNIQUE & tho’ I’ve seen others share it on RU-vid I have not tried it myself! Your video has given me ENCOURAGEMENT & INSPIRATION to “give it a go”!! What size Vellum did you use?? If it was mentioned, I missed it! Sorry! I really appreciate your “step by step” directions (easy to follow!), even for the set-up before beginning the technique! Of course, sharing your color palettes for each, and the card designs using the creations was WONDERFUL! When you were doing the “blowing step”, I found myself blowing at my iPad along with you! Hahahaha! (Hope that brings you a chuckle!!) I LOVE THE FINISHED CREATIONS ON ALL OF THEM, Patty. I appreciate your mentioning the dies, or papers you used in them, too! Your suggestions n’ “thoughts” are so helpful n’ get my mind reelin’ as well! Using the adhesive sheets w/the die cut images is MARVELOUS and cuts down on “poking out those mini sections”! Good tips on adhering the vellum to the layers was so helpful! I look forward to seeing the other designs you’ve created w/this technique, too! Patty, TFS & HAPPY STAMPIN’ & CREATIN’! Sending BIG SMILES from Madison, WI! :-)))))) Have a lovely day! :-)

Great job on this video, you make this look so easy - I'm off to go and try!

This technique is amazing. I've been wanting to try this for a few weeks now. My favorite is the succulent card. Thanks Patty.

Oh I love the sea life one you did with the sea horse!!! They’re all beautiful though!

Your work is incredible!! Greetings from "down-under"

Two thumbs up

Fabulous and new subscriber!

Have you done the gold embossing after the sheet dries so much fun. Love the tip about splattering the alcohol

Awesome wow backgrounds shared from sw mn

Beautiful cards I love them all . So if you don't have a blend with a bad tip is there a different way to do the splatters?

Patty, thanks for this tutorial! Can you pls give information for the craft ( Teflon) mat you are using. Handy tips! ❤️ Wink of Stella; need a Walgreens run for 91% alcohol!Thought I’d try this technique with friends like seashells EF

Patty, I added some of the gold flakes after it dries!🤪

Hi Patty!! I wonder if you label your SB markers? Or how you arrange in storage regarding color? I’ve got them all now and have to pull them in & out a lot to read who’s who! 🖍

Patty, love your videos, lots of good ideas and techniques. I am new to your channel and really enjoying it. Who is Tammy that you refer to in your video?

Your cards are beautiful. Just a little health info, you shouldn't blow on alcohol inks, as you inhale you are inhaling the vapors and it is not good for you. It is best to get a bulb blower like a baby tool or one from amazon to blow air, Also make sure your room is ventilated. enjoy and have fun.

Would this work on glossy card stock

I have seen people use a heat gun to dry the background.
