Hi everyone! Who’s going to be trying out photo paper??

@c.r.mcleod8959 12 дней назад

I'm going to get out my photo paper and play with this technique again, been a few years since I last played with it 😊

@carolbatchelor5855 12 дней назад

I look forward to getting back to this. I haven't inked on photo paper in a long time.

@allisonjames2923 12 дней назад

Try thoroughly soaking your photo paper with water before you put any ink on, then stamp in a colour (creates a gorgeous vintagey/distressed/watercolour stamp effect), then add other ink colours. Using lots of water helps layer colours to some degree. Luise Heinzl does a series of fantastic tutorials on them.

@daynajackson1129 11 дней назад

Me!! Frequently see super cheap packs of photo paper at the thrift stores. Now that I watched your video I have some new fun techniques to try. Thanks!!! 🎉❤

@jennym007 8 дней назад

@mellie1004 12 дней назад

I did this right after watching. I love how shiny and colorful they are! Unfortunately I didn't have blending solution, so used 99% alcohol. It still gave me a great result, but I imagine the resin like substance in the solution works better. I've since added to my "wish list". Pretty awesome that I got such fab results with my $1.25 ~100 sheets photo paper. THANKS for a fun afternoon!

Scored a couple of rolls of glossy photo paper from my mum's craft room recently as my dad passed away also and we are cleaning out their house. Was going to to donate it but not now! I was pretty sure it had to have a crafty use, or mum would not have had it in her stash.

@bethjeans3780 12 дней назад

Oh, so happy you mentioned this! A few of us did this some years ago with Oxides and found that it worked on some photo paper and not on others - no rhyme or reason. But that was Oxides, not regular Distress. And when we wiped it off slightly the color sometimes changed! I still have some old aka ugly backgrounds from it and use it for strips or other shapes and it stops being ugly.

@kesami123 12 дней назад

@shirleyb2896 10 дней назад

@allisonjames2923 12 дней назад

I love working with inks on photo paper. Wetting the paper first, then using stamps with colours then spray stains or inks/oxides smooshed using a Gelli plate or other good smooshing surface creates gorgeous vintage effects! Luise Heinzl does some amazing techniques with photo paper. Just make sure you DON’T use Glossy photo paper on your Gelli plate or it will stick to the plate & ruin it. Use Matte photo paper there. I really love the partially oxidised effect you get using lots of water first & Distress Oxides too. Gives some gorgeous galaxy effects with cloudy areas & bright colourful areas. Also the water allows for more layering of colours too.

@barbborja1910 12 дней назад

I absolutely love the backgrounds you created. I’ve never used photo paper with my Distress products before, but will definitely be going out to buy some photo paper soon and spend an afternoon creating pretty papers. Just FYI, white ink’s are made with pigment only, including Distress Picket Fence. I learned that from one of Tim Holtz’s RU-vid videos a few years ago. So I’m not sure what’s causing the resist when you used Picket Fence, but it’s not white dye ink. Likely it’s the resins in the ink that made it fluid.

Looks like it’s been a long time since most of us have played around with photo paper and stains and distress inks. I absolutely love the dramatic effect the colors have on photo paper. Oxides are a brilliant designed ink. Because they are diluted here after sprayed with water I wonder if the new distressed spritz’ Will work. Hummm thanks Lou

@susanfernandes7748 6 дней назад

Give the BACKSIDE of the photopaper a try rather than the front side. You'll get much better reactions to movement and combination of the inks. I've been working with alcohol ink and fluid art for four years and use GLOSSY INKJET photopaper as my substrate but on the backside. You need GLOSSY INKJET photopaper because it can handle the wet better than a matte paper. Do not try this with laser photopaper, it's not built to handle the wet. Lovely results!

Can you use isopropyl alcohol instead of the blending solution? The solution is quite expensive and you seemed to use quite a bit.
