[@sandywest4299]

i watched a ton of videos using alcohol ink and alcohol. but you are the master of technics. tyvm for teaching me the right way of this art

[@Jenniferatcreativeartspark]

These cards are sheer artistry! Certainly NOT messy, as someone else said, but carefully controlled imagination with color. I love them! Thank you for the inspiration!

Thanks a bunch! You're very kind!

[@denisestine2141]

I love alcohol inks, but I have never thought of flicking them!! What a great idea! I love how your cards turned out! TYFS

[@cindym9851]

I haven’t used my alcohol inks in a dog’s age…..but you’ve inspired me to change that SOON ❤

[@shaunatodd7761]

So glad it inspired you! Thanks for your comment.

Beautiful

I’ve watched many a video on how to use alcohol ink, but I’ve never seen this velum technique and I can’t wait to try this. Also, I’ve always had issues with how to attach velum without the adhesive showing through so thank you for that tip! Your cards are lovely!

[@foiledfox]

Glad it helped. The double-sided adhesive paper works marvelously!

[@nancywilkes298]

Very lovely, thank you!

[@shaunatodd7761]

Thank you so much!

[@heidi3855]

wonderful cards 😊

[@marcydobbs1653]

This technique makes a lot of sense se to me. Resisting the need to over fiddle may be difficult for me! Really pretty cards.

[@shaunatodd7761]

I know what you mean but I really like this technique

[@darlenegreen1089]

I absolutely love working with alcohol inks. But this technique is totally off the charts...well done!

[@amyscarborough549]

I just came across your name on Pinterest, so I looked to see if you are on KZbin & sure enough you are. Great cards, thanks for the inspiration. Love your style. TFS

I just don’t like or do messy cards but I think people who do them are brave.

[@isabelle7403]

Beautiful cards! Excited to try alcohol inks with vellum! TFS!

[@foiledfox]

Hey, thanks a bunch! Give it a whirl, it is loads of fun!

[@CatherineSummerfield]

Gorgeous !! Thank you xx

[@online22much]

Gorgeous! Love your techniques...have never seen someone apply alcohol inks the way you do. I even like the alcohol panels as is. Thanks for sharing your talent. I would love to see more of your videos.

[@foiledfox]

Thanks for your kind words!

[@leeojascastro711]

Great tutorial!❤

[@shaunatodd7761]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@AbiNomac]

Nice

[@shaunatodd7761]

Thank you!

[@fandmsmith]

Great looking cards! What did you call the little dish you used for your alcohol? Is it available at Foiled Fox?

[@foiledfox]

Hey, thanks! the dish is a dappen dish and yes, you can find it on The Foiled Fox (see link) I love this glass container, it is sooo useful! foiledfox.com/products/glass-dappen-dish/

[@lisagood]

Pretty! But can you stamp and use embossing powder right on the paper after alcohol ink dries? Then you don’t need vellum?

[@foiledfox]

Glad you liked it! Sure, you can just stamp and emboss but I liked the lightly opaque background to the flower by using the vellum. To me, it gives more definition to the flower.

[@JewelrybyJeanette]

These are lovely! How do you keep the vellum from warping when you heat emboss it? TFS!

[@foiledfox]

Sorry we missed this comment! The double-sided adhesive paper on the back of the vellum after you heat emboss it keeps it flat.

[@lu-ellenhafner4968]

Very much enjoy your calm presentation, would be inclined to stop a little earlier but easy to say when not actually in the process Myself I need to learn when to stop🥴🤪

[@shaunatodd7761]

yes, hard to stop isn't it? Thanks for your comment.

[@roserosino127]

Is that watercolor paper that you are using?

[@foiledfox]

Hi there, when using alcohol inks, it is best to use synthetic or plastic paper like Yupo paper so the inks don't soak into the paper. I mentioned it in this video but neglected to put it in the supply list...sorry. If you want to learn more, check out this recent video - bit.ly/2SPylHF - for detailed instructions when working with alcohol inks. Also here is a link to the Yupo or synthetic paper I spoke about. bit.ly/3AvJBK7 Hope this helps!

[@bowler8]

You dont need to use the fake paper
