Well,Marion, today I had equally as many mishaps on my art table. Had a clean up and decided to come watch this video. I have never thought to emboss foil and card, after playing with my alcohol inks. Thanks, for giving us this idea! I’ve been working on my Christmas cards, hoping to have 65 made in time for mailing. I’m going to play with this idea and and make some some snazzy holiday cards. Thanks again, Marion. I’m excited to go play, play, and play.

[@marionemberson]

Hi Cheryl, that makes me so happy to hear that, I hope you had lots of fun 🤗🤗🤗

Agree with you Marion 🤩 it is stunning ! I have avoided alcohol inks because I thought they needed to be done on yupo paper and were complicated. You made it look so easy and quick - just a bit of foolish from the kitchen and an embossing folder. Thank you for sharing your talent 🤗 and your humour 😂

Thanks Annette, yep, that’s all it is, so much cheaper than yupo, I have more alcohol ink videos scheduled soon 🥰🥰🥰

If it was the pearl that was clogged , it’s more important to keep then upright and you have to really shake them so you disturb the mica . Love the technique . Going to have to buy some tin foil now ! Who cares how long it takes .

[@lindadesgroseilliers17]

Yes, Julie, I was going to ask if that "clogged" one was a Pearl color. Those are NOT fluid until you shake them up and get the little blending ball moving freely.

[@marionemberson]

It was Julie, thanks for that, I do keep them in the tin now, I learned my lesson 😂😂 🥰🥰🥰

[@traceymahoney5258]

Hi Marion, I’ve had a go at this technique today but with sharpie pens as I didn’t have any alcohol inks only the alcohol. It came out ok and I made a card with the end result. I also found that the ink did come off onto my fingers a little so I sprayed hairspray over it as a fixing. I loved having a go. Thank you for sharing this technique. ❤

[@marionemberson]

Hi Tracey, that’s good to know that it worked, I wonder why it came off ? It could be the ratio of ink to alcohol 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ but hairspray is a great idea, thanks for sharing that 🥰🥰🥰
