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!
I'm back with another episode of Five Fun Fave Finds on Friday or F to the 5th Power! In these videos, I share some new cardmaking supplies (or new to me supplies) and share what I like about them so you can see them up close and decide if they are something you would be interested in.
This week we are taking a look at (1) Alcohol Ink Cardstock and papers. I really love the new Translucent Alcohol Ink paper!
As well as (2) the new Alcohol Ink Alloys (and a couple of new alcohol ink colors).
After trying the new Alloys, I am definitely a fan. Pretty sure I like them even better than the Mixitives!
Next up we'll look at Gina K Designs Crystalline Drops.
The colors of these are stunning, but even more amazing is how much dimension you can achieve AND how they round out on their own to create perfect drops!
Next we'll take a look at Memory Box's Open Studio Fairy Sugar:
These are jam packed with glitter and come in the prettiest colors!
And last but not least, we will check out the new Waffle Flower Patterned Paper JJ's Rainbows pad and how it was meant to be used behind the Panel dies illustrated by JJ Bolton.
If you're interested in the products in this episode they are linked down below, but be sure to check out the video too because you really get a closer look at everything and see it in action too!
Stay safe, stay healthy and I'll see you again soon!
