Alcohol Ink background with lift off technique FAIL

Welcome to my channel. Although my videos are in a tutorial type format, I only really want to give you ideas on ways to use your stamps and dies in different ways, to get the most out of what you purchase. You don't have to keep buying all the new products, most of my videos will translate to stamps you might already have, I will use old products I have, which may not be available anymore, but use something you have or can get. Most of my videos will be floral cards and aimed at the more experienced card makers, but I will endeavor to put some more simple designs in for the beginners.
This card is a background using alcohol inks and then using a 'lift off' ink pad and some leaf stamps I made a border around the edge of the card.

[@CraftyAliConfessions]

Thanks for sharing. I wonder if after you lifted the ink, draw the leaves in loosely with a gel pen or similar type of pen. Might have to revisit the alcohol inks. Lol. Overall great card Helen. FAIL = Few Attempts In Learning. Crafty hugs. Xx

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Yes that might work Ali, I dont think my gel pens will work though they are a bit old now lol 💜💙💚

[@deborahjoy2013]

Well you've finally made me head to my craft room to give this technique a try. Thanks for the inspiration!
