Anything Goes Challenges
Working with Alchohol Ink Lifts - Second Entry - The Negative
Good day, fellow crafters. This post is going to be light on details and was written to show you the opposite effect of the ink-lift ink pad on Alcohol Inks from what was created in my last post as well as to serve as my entry post to the two challenge platforms I have highlighted with banners above. I am truly grateful for these platforms that provide us, fellow crafters, with a chance to showcase our talents and connect with like-minded individuals who share our passion for crafting. So, gather your supplies, unleash your imagination, and let's dive into these thrilling challenges! If you're feeling inspired by the vibrant colors and captivating effects of alcohol inks, don't hesitate to join in and share your own masterpiece with the crafting community on these challenges. Be sure to check that post out here, for all of the details. I hope you enjoy it.
As I mentioned in my last post the result you see in this card’s background is achieved after the Alcohol Ink-Lift has been applied and has been gently wiped away with a lightly dampened paper towel to lift or remove the ink-lift, which will reveal the colors and patterns underneath. To accomplish this you want to gently dab at the image until it is no longer shiny where ever the lift had been applied. You then can wipe away the alcohol ink and expose the stamped image. Now it may just be me, but this background really reminds me of what it looks like when you press flowers between wax paper.
For this card, I matted the background with the same black cardstock as the previous card after I had cut it and the background to their final sizes. Then for something a little different, I crafted an A2 card base from a lavender cardstock and then adhered it to the constructed background. The sentiment for this card was created from the Altenew Fancy Thanks die set in the same black as the mat so that it would have a huge visual difference that turned out very pleasing.
Lastly, I felt that this card needed a bit of extra dimension so as with the previous card, I incorporated the Little Things flat-back pearls in a Soft Violet, which really matched effectively, and called this part of the project complete.
I hope you have enjoyed this walkthrough and are inspired to join me in submitting to any or all of the hosts I featured in the banners at the top of the post. If you have any questions or comments please be sure to leave them in the comment section below.
