Hello, it's Verity with another video and blog post as a Creative team member for WOW! Alcohol inks are a beautiful medium to work with. They create vivid bright designs whether you create a background or use it for more focal images. Today I'm showing how to use alcohol inks with foiled designs using the fabulous WOW! Fab Foilers Sweet Sentiments set. Whether you keep it simple with just a few sentiments or add a vellum overlay, this technique will blow you away!
Alcohol Inks and WOW! Fab Foils/Foilers video Tutorial:
Alcohol Inks and WOW! Fab Foils/Foilers written Tutorial:
Start off with a piece of Yupo Paper - no need to trim this down to a card size until we have added the ink. Add some blending solution over the top and start adding in colour with alcohol inks.
Here I have used Indigo, Wild Plum and Stream. Using a puffer, move the ink around, allowing the colours to blend with one another. Keep adding ink until you are happy with the look.
Allow the panel to dry, but just before the whole panel is dry we need to add some foil design. Where the alcohol ink pools it will take longer to dry and this will appear tacky. Cover this with WOW! Gold Fab foil to transfer the foil and create metallic veins in the background.
To finish the card, foil a sheet of sentiments from the WOW! Fab Foiler Sweet Sentiments set in WOW! Gold Fab Foil. Trim these down and add them to the card front along with some gold matte sequins.
This second uses vellum to create the alcohol ink panel and then used this as an overlay. Again, add Indigo, Stream and Wild Pulm Alcohol inks to the vellum along with blending solution. Before the panel has fully dried, add WOW! Gold Fab Foil to the tacky areas of ink.
Create the background panel by foiling with WOW! Gold Fab Foil one of the background panels from the WOW! Fab Foilers Sweet Sentiments set. Trim the vellum panel down and hide small amounts of double-sided adhesive tape behind dark areas of alcohol ink.
Finish this card off by adding a few more foiled sentiments from the WOW! Fab Foilers Sweet Sentiments set along with matte gold sequins.
