Kelly Letavola-Taylor re-lit my love for alcohol inks then my inner Jennifer kicked in and I smooshed, such pretty backgrounds! I pressed and wiggled and wow! I also added foil and that really made the pearls pop! Thank you for the accidental collaboration.

CAN NOT WAIT to try this…I have two dies that will be perfect for this technique, one is a Nativity scene that I think will be so wonderful with that night sky look, the other is a scrambled Happy birthday die that makes a square card , I am going to try a glitter or metallic paper for the overlay. This could easily be addictive. Thanks Jennifer, sorry you and your daughter have been sick, will send some prayers your way!

Black Friday I bought 4 pkg of 8x10 Yupo 25 sheets/pkg at JoAnn’s for half price. Have been busy making Xmas cards but can hardly wait to play with my alcohol ink backgrounds. I used to do this technique on glossy paper with a product called Luna Lights back about 2001. Hadn’t thought of this with alcohol inks. These backgrounds will be fantastic with the new Tim Holtz/Simon Says Stamp Santa’s sleigh die I got on Black Friday as well. Thanks for this video. Hope you and your family have a great holiday season!!

Okay, had the stuff so had to try right away. Note that I am neither expert nor particularly talented, so my comments should be taken with the proverbial grain of salt. First, I left the sandwich together for at least 5 minutes and got much better results. Second, hated the puffer tool...I really wanted those striations. Waved a full size sheet of cardstock about a foot from the yupo, and I was very pleased with the results. Jennifer has taught me to play and not be too hard on myself. I love her videos!

It’s been awhile since I played with alcohol ink and you both have inspired me!

you can do this smooshing with nuvo drops too - but it's thicker and doesn't move as much - and it leaves bumps - but actually really pretty look - i like to die cut them. now i'll have to try my alcohol inks!!
