And
With an alcohol ink Tutorial!
1. Use a straight edge
ruler and craft knife to cut clear packaging 4 ¼” x 5 ½.”
{This is the clear packaging that
embossing folders and dies come in. You can also use acetate or transparency.}
2. Cut one piece of
card stock and a piece of aluminum kitchen foil 4 ¼” x 5 ½.”
Run card stock through Xyron with permanent adhesive. Peel
of adhesive and apply aluminum foil to card stock.
3. Use felt applicator to apply alcohol inks to
aluminum foil. The colors used should
coordinate the finished stamped piece. I used purple, green and gold.
When the alcohol ink is is dry, run the alcohol piece
through the Xyron. Peel off adhesive and apply the clear packaging over the
alcohol piece.
4. Place your alcohol inked piece in an
embossing folder and run through an embossing tool.
6. Ink a brayer with archival black to ink “Girl Feeding Cat” stamp on Kromecote paper from VLVS. Set image aside to dry overnight or heat set to
dry. I prefer to let dry overnight.
7. This is my favorite part of the card, using a portable waterbrush or paint brush with watercolor crayons to color image. I like to make
the image look as real as possible, something I’ve done since 1998. When the image is dry, take a soft cloth and polish the image. Trim leaving a narrow white border around the image similar to a real photo.
8. Adhere gold trimmed paper and then watercolor
piece to alcohol piece using Miracle Tape.
9. Stamp sentiment “I can’t imagine” on Kromecote paper, trim and then use distress ink with foam
applicator to coordinate the main stamped image.
10. Apply Miracle Tape to sentiment and alcohol embossed piece to pre-fold card.
