Before Alcohol Lift Inkpads

Evening All,

One of my favourite new products from 2019 was the Alcohol Lift ink pad. A fabulous product which not not only lifts an image from a piece of alcohol inked background, but also enables you to stamp the image onto another piece of card stock. A twofer.

Long before it came on to the market it was possible to create and lift an impression from a piece of alcohol inked background using an archival ink pad.

Unfortunately this technique does not result in a twofer, but it does give you some fabulous results.

These cards were made using alcohol inked acetate. The floral images were stamped onto the inked side of the acetate using Archival ink which is then removed with a piece of  kitchen paper or a cloth. This removes the alcohol ink, although the images can sometime look a little grey from the archival ink.

This final card was made using a piece of photographic paper stamped with images that were then cut out and layered onto a card over a fancy die cut.

We will definitely have to play with Alcohol inks again, they are such fun, in the mean time its stencils tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great crafty weekend.
