This is the project completed in my "10 Ways To Use Alcohol Inks" class .
I even tried my hand at making my own Washi Tape using Red Line tape, tissue paper & then spraying it with a combination of Blending Solution & Alcohol Inks. After I made my solution in a Mini Mister I read that it is very important to avoid spraying it in your eyes. Beyond the obvious reasons, there is a binding agent in the Blending Solution & can really harm your eyes.
To avoid spraying anything I put in my Mini Misters, whether Pearl Ex & alcohol, or reinker & water, I mark the opposite side of the hole with an X so I know which end to hold away from myself.
Supplies used:
- Alcohol Inks - Clover, Sail Boat Blue & Purple Twilight
- Refillable Pen by Ranger. I only put Blending Solution in my pen & put my AI in a paint palette. When it dries up the Blending Solution in the Refillable pen reactivates the dried up AI.
- Stampin Up tree stamp which unfortunately has been discontinued.
- Eggplant SU cardstock
- Tissue paper
- Red Line tape
- Brown Staz-On
Since Staz-On is also Alcohol based, & the AI will smear the stamped image as you "paint" it. However, when I did "paint" in the blossoms on the tree & it smeared, I loved the effect. It looks a little like I watercolored the image, but it was done with AI. I am going to try this with other images.
When I stamp an image to AI "paint" it with the refillable pen, and don't want the smeared or watercolor effect, I stamp it first with Versamark & then use fine line black embossing powder.
