Partial Alcohol Inking - Use Surfaces You Already Have!


I really struggle creating artistic backgrounds with alcohol inks, but I love them! So I decided to try partial alcohol inking where I would leave lots of white space to add sentiments or embellishments. But, I realize that Yupo and speciality cardstocks can be expensive if you are only using a small part of the cardstock. So I share a comparison between Yupo white cardstock and photo paper...


and Translucent Yupo and vellum...


and then I created one on acetate for good measure!


Check out this fun technique and the comparison between surfaces in this video:


and you can see all the supplies I used down below. Thanks for stopping by!
