Wow! Loved the neon colors and the Hero Arts Rootbeer(?). What a cool technique

How interesting to see the different mediums react. These are lovely and plan to do this soon. Thanks so much. Another good use for those background stamps that we feel are one dimensional at times.

Hey, Lydia! I love your technique using photo paper! I've never done that before. My favorite one is the blue and yellow. I'm glad I found your video. Happy Thanksgiving! Bev

A few years ago I swiped some oxide inks over photo paper. I let it dry and then buffed the top. The colors left were so beautiful and vibrant. Fun technique.

Yeah that is SUCH a wow technique!

Loved this idea! QUESTION: it looks like you have a glass mat, why do you use the craft mat? Can’t it just go on the glass? 😊
@UnderstandBlue6 ай бұрын
It can but the inks behave VASTLY differently on glass than on a craft mat. Try side by side and you'll see what I mean.

Great video--thanks! do you air dry the paper or use a heat gun?
@UnderstandBlueАй бұрын
Air dry only

If you mentioned it, I missed it. Does it need to be glossy photo paper? Or does matte work, too? Thank you.
@UnderstandBlueАй бұрын
Great question - I have only tried the paper I used, which is glossy!

I’ve been listening to greeting card podcasts and someone mentioned mailing an alcohol ink card and it was sticky when the person received it. Have you tried mailing(in the summer) to a hot part of the country? I’m asking because I want to make some cards as gifts and would have to mail across the country, plus idk what they would do with them. I just wonder if the emulsion would sweat. Thanks

Hmm I've never heard of that, however, less is more with alcohol ink - this is a very thin layer - but when you have multiple thick layers they can stay sticky where they overlap. My answer to that is to rub gold leaf flakes on those parts.
