New Alcohol Blend Technique and Cards

[@karenwrenn1836]

Dear Linda, I absolutely love this video. I've never seen anyone apply the alcohol with a brush and I cannot wait to try it YOUR way which would give me way more control over what's happening. I've only applied the alcohol with a spray bottle. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your AMAZING TALENT!! If you EVER host in person workshops, I would love to attend (and meet Puccini) since I just live in Conifer! Be well!! Many hugs, Karen 🙂

[@margeneeskelson4197]

What a fun technique! Beautiful backgrounds!! Such beautiful cards! Thank you

[@christinewhelan9960]

I am addicted to this technique now. Love it. I may stay up all night practicing my new technique. Love, love love:!

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Thank you Christine!

[@dawneaschollmeyer9162]

add some gold shimmer to the alcohol and it gives a halo effect to the lighter or greens and yellow

[@hayleydoherty9557]

Hi Linda thank you . I used to live in colorado, aurora and used to work at the hospital. I do wish I had stayed there but moved back to UK

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

[@maremagoo8140]

Here's a tip: you can add your gilding flakes to those little dark patches of alcohol that appear to still be wet - but aren't ... however they're are tacky enough to hold the gilding flakes well. Burnish them down after leaving a few minutes to absorb the alcohol & ink. Bonus is they take care of those sticky spots & add true randomness to the overall result.

[@lindabrady2749]

I love the backgrounds!

I agree lots of ways to apply the alcohol, I think this will be fun to mess with for a while.

Fantastic use of the Stampin Blends. I can stop purchasing my bottles of alcohol ink. Thanks for a great video!

[@sharon94503]

You can make your own alcohol ink, in small quantities for a single project if you want using a reinker and 91% alcohol. You can even try putting it in a water brush.

[@susantipton8686]

Love how these turned out I think they are just stunning. It is probably the lighting but some of the panels look like there is some gold veining in them which looks gorgeous. Is there a way to add gold or silver or any Metalic to these panels?

Yes I will be doing more with these soon

Oh Jan, I just tried this two weeks ago and wanted to ask you to try it and maybe make a video. It’s one of the most beautiful cards I’ve ever made.
