Hello! I am honored to be the guest designer over
Little Tangles today! With the color combo (yellow, grey and pink, details
here), I came up with a tutorial to share with you! Back by demand, I did the project with
vellum and alcohol inks!
I am also entering this project to Color Media challenge over Moxie Fab World.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step 1:
~ Gather supplies-clear/white vellum paper, Tim Holtz Adirondack Alcohol Blending Solution, Adirondack Alcohol Inks ( Pink Sherbet, Sunshine Yellow)
~ Use Alcohol Applicator with felt. Here I used regular brown felt for the alcohol inks as it works . AND it saves money!
~ You can control the color intensity by adding more/less inks and alcohol solution. Experimenting with the alcohol inks is part of the fun!
Step 2:
~You can either dab or swipe the inks to create textured look that you want.
~ After it dries, you can stamp or emboss
~I cut out the embossed images and tried out the designs
Step 3:
~ Make book marks with the fun sentiment
~ See how I used the die cut for creating edges (see top left)? You can make good use of your existing die cut.
~Color part of the sentiment
~Use Liquid Pearl Accents to add details on the muffin tops

t
~Add Stickles for the extra sparkle
love your muffin top
~ With the extra cupcake images, I made a card. Combining Washi tape, buttons and sequins, this card was quick to put together!
And then you will have created a card
and a few fun book marks!
I truly hope that you pick up a few tips and ideas about alcohol inks
through this simple tutorial. It really IS easy! The hardest part is to
jump into it since it will require you to make that little "investment" to get the
alcohol inks, ink applicator, glossy paper and blending solution (use those coupons!!). Once you have
the supplies, you'll just have to play and experiment.
Edited: Jennifer McGuire has the most excellent
two part videos about the
alcohol inks (s
