Alcohol Alloys, Perals and mixatives

[@fionalanglois6927]

I suggest using the white mixative on black mirror cardstock, along with other mixatives, or alloys &/or pearls.

Thanks dear you are amazing and helpful

[@hotchocococo]

You are amazing 💗💗💗 thank you for sharing! I was struggling so much with the enchanted pearl ink with just alcohol and thought “what on earth?! Is there something wrong with this bottle? Am I doing something wrong??” Now I know! Thank you for sharing! And I absolutely LOVE the Grafix craft plastic! 🙌🏻🙏🏻 Thank you again!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

So glad I can help. I think I figured out that you have to use blending solution with the pearls on accident LOL! So glad I did though. Thanks so much for watching.

[@hotchocococo]

@@Tiffany.Solorio haha! What an awesome accidental discovery! Have you ever tried making ripples with pearl inks? I attempted last night and half of it worked then towards the end it did the clumping thing 😖 Thank you for your amazing videos and sharing your tips and tricks ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

I am having trouble making my gold alloy look right. I don’t know if I’m not shaking it enough (I thought I shook it pretty well!)

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

Is it kind of clumpy? One of my silver ones was like that. Even when I first bought it. I just ended up buying a new one.

Thank you for this helpful Video 🥰

You’re welcome 😊

Can you put a picture of the vellum paper please

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

Yes photos coming soon to my instagram. tiffany_solorio_creates

[@blesseddragonflynailart]

So how about integrating pearls and other inks together? Do I need to use the pearl colors on top? Or can I set them side by side like you do with other combinations?

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

You can add them together or separate. I hope that helps.

[@amydeleon3387]

Yes - I'm the same - probably using white wrong too. When I use white it just stays in a blob ... So for now I'll avoid it.

[@lizjohnson1174]

Do you ever have any issues with the Alloy rubbing off the paper? What I mean is, once the alcohol ink is dry (which I have added the alloy too as well), if I touch the alloy color it comes off on your hands. I'm having this issue all the time. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

So I had to check and yes it rubs off a bit. I suggest maybe a spray sealer? I haven't tried any but I plan to get a few since the topic of sealing is one of the most asked questions. I have never really used the Alloys much before.

[@josephbickerton]

I found the same problem with the pearls

[@lizjohnson1174]

@@josephbickerton I've had to use a sealer to keep it from rubbing off. I use the a clear coat spray (Clear Finish Matte) from Design Master. I believe Krylon also makes one but I just happen to have this one on hand. It works great. Keeps the finish from coming off. Especially the pearls.

[@s.baxter3891]

I saw a video that says you must use blending solution with the alloys, or the alloy rubs off on your fingers. Have you found that to be true? Great helpful video!

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

Technically yes. BUT, I still have had some rub off even when I use blending solution. so I just use it and then seal it with kamar varnish. I hope that helps.

[@s.baxter3891]

Wonderful this video is a year old and you answered my question today! Yeah!!!

What brand of velum can be heat embossed?

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

I use vellum from Hobby Lobby. It seems thicker. I do heat emboss all types of vellum though. I hope that helps. Thanks so much for watching!

[@fionalanglois6927]

@@Tiffany.Solorio Supposedly, thin vellum won’t work well.

[@AuntieTriza]

Try changing the 'exposure' setting on your camera to stop it blowing out colours so much :)

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

It looked great when I tested it 😂 Thank you.
