Alcohol Ink Archaeology

[@patriciawilson4135]

You always show such interesting techniques. So glad that makers are showcasing embossing folders. Like you stated, we forget they are there and most of them are lovely and make the most beautiful cards. I love this technique and plan to try it. Thanks so much for all you teach us.

That's a really pretty embossing folder and you managed to punch it up a few notches! Bravo!

Love the look you achieved, Lydia! Those colors work so well together, and give such rich results. I was just wondering how Maddie & Splotchy are doing? I haven't seen any updates from you on them for a while. Just curious. Thank you for sharing. Take care, & have an awesome day! :)

Thank you SO much for asking! They are both doing great! We just took them on a little road trip. Maddie has an appointment next Monday with an internist for a long term plan for her (it took this long from her surgery to get an appt!!!!) I appreciate you so much, friend. Happy New Year.

Am anxious to try out this technique! I will be using my regular foil, though, sure hope it works as well as yours. When I looked at Amazon that you referenced for it ( the individual sheets), the price was over $60!! Wow. Don't know why in the world Amazon thought that was a decent price!! Also, can I use my alcohol ink markers as well as the liquid ink? (I have many more colors in the pens than I have in the liquids.) I love all my embossing folders, too, and never get rid of any of them. "doomaflotchy" I have used that word for years but never heard anyone else use it! LOL

WHAT? I will check that link.

Please, let me know how you connected the foil to the cardstock

[@UnderstandBlue]

I used the adhesive and the scraper listed in the description.

[@chrisarlington1792]

I dont quite understand what foil? Aluminium? Hot foil? Thanks

[@UnderstandBlue]

It's an ultra thin foil that's cut - it's in the description - you have to click "more"

[@pattyeifert4355]

What did you use to create that background before you started adding ink?
