Alcohol Inks on Transparencies or Vellum

Materials:

Instructions:

Drop Alcohol Ink

Lay a sheet of transparency or vellum on your craft sheet (or a protected surface). Have a 2nd sheet handy because alcohol inks dry quickly. I use 2 or 3 colors plus some metallic mixative or a posh accent metallic pen. Drop a few drops of the first color randomly on the transparency.

More alcohol inks
Drop a few drops of the 2nd or 3rd color.

Metallic Mixatives or Posh Accents Drop a few drops of the metallic mixatives & a few drops of alcohol ink blending solution on sheet. If you are using a posh metallic pen just dab some spots on the sheet. I've used the pearl metallic mixative here. I've also done them with copper metallic mixatives & gold posh accent pen. I've been happy with all of them.

2nd Transparency Quickly place the 2nd transparency or vellum sheet on top.

Smoosh 'Smoosh' the colors around with your fingers - try to just have them touch not mix or they may become a 'mud' color.

Remove Lift the top sheet off & lay both to dry. They will be dry very quickly and you can cut them up & use them in projects!

There's lots of ways to use these:

  • Stamp on them & overlay.
  • Overlay
  • Matte
