I've been revisiting alcohol inks this week and it was my turn over on IACW!

You will need:

Glossy cardstock

Alcohol inks

Ink tool applicator and felt pads

Straw or air can

Covered worksurface (it can be messy)

Stamps

Clear embossing powder

Embossing Ink

Heat Gun

Black Ink Pad -Archival Ink

An iron - yes really!



First technique is an oldie but a goody- alcohol ink resist:

First you need to stamp your image using embossing ink onto glossy card.Then clear emboss the image using embossing powder and your heat gun:





Then ink up your applicator with some alcohol ink and rub over the surface of the image:





When the image is fully covered put your iron on to HOT and place a piece of clean paper over your embossed image.

Iron over the image, through the clean paper.




This melts and removes the embossing powder, you end up with a lovely clear, white image:





I did this four times with different coloured inks to make:



I added some Primas, brads and glitter for a fun Fiesta themed card!

More fun with alcohol inks next time!

Happy crafting
