[@lauramartin7300]

Wow. Love them all,especially the shimmers. I use a cutting mat from the dollar store when I stamp or glue anything. And you get 2 in a pack. I've kinda did similar with ink sprays or markers. Will have to try this using cotton balls. Have more control of color. You have me thinking... which is good for my old brain. Lol Thanks for Sharing. Love all you do.

This is what I have been thinking on for those specialty papers. How to add color to brighten them up. I said when I recieved the shimmer paper that I would like to have it in more colors. I thought about using blending brushes but this technique provides more choices in finished colors. Thanks. I like the new method much better.

I love all the techniques. Does the percent on the alcohol matter? I think I have some in the 70's percent. Thank you ❤️

[@simplysimplestamping]

No, not to my knowledge.

[@edithshaw2473]

Question! When adding color to vellum, did you use the back side of the vellum to apply the color or color over the metallic print on the front? If the color is applied over the metallic print does the print not accept the color at all?😮❤

[@simplysimplestamping]

Great question. I think my best recommendation is to cut a small piece and try each way and see what works best for you.

[@monicarapps4722]

Interesting - thanks for this tutorial! Might this work with alcohol ink & omit the alcohol & ink pad? I purchased some alcohol inks on sale recently & have few ideas on how to use them!

[@simplysimplestamping]

Monica, it might. I would suggest using scrap paper first to try it.

[@shalacarter6658]

Hiiiiii Connie! Thanks for sharing this technique which I had forgotten all about. I really need a journal with the old techniques because the vast majority of cards these days focus on dies; which I don't use. These are all sooooo pretty! What's fun is that my headphones are glitching so I am reading the auto-captions and they crack me up with the different words they use for "vellum." xo

[@simplysimplestamping]

Shala, I love dies. I think they add something extra to cards.

Evelyn, I have not. I would just recommend you give it a try on a scrap piece.

[@katielay5941]

Can you use the water paint brushes with alcohol in them & dip in ink on a block to be kinda like alcohol blends???

[@simplysimplestamping]

Katie, I don't know why not. Try it on scrap paper.

Can I use any kind of ink?? Like for example, could I use distress ink???
