Alcohol Lift

I love alcohol lift ink, not only is it a cool and arty technique, but you also end up with two images for the effort of one!

I started with the card on the right, which has an alcohol ink background on glossy, synthetic card. The lift ink was applied to the large, solid stamp from the eucalyptus set, and stamped over the alcohol ink background. The lift ink activates the alcohol ink, allowing it to be picked up by the stamp and transferred to a second piece of card stock, which is the card on the left.

Stamping Techniques

There are so many fun and fabulous techniques for stamping, all it takes is a little know how, some tools and a couple of hours to play. The new Eucalyptus clear stamps are great for a range of interesting techniques, some of which I've posted below. I prepared most of these for a demonstration at one of our fabulous local stores, The Crafty Chain.

The two photos above are examples of alcohol lift using inks, Yupo paper and an alcohol lift ink pad.

Applying watercolour markers directly to the stamp.

The four examples above are of stamping into or with paint and texture paste.

Emboss resist.
