Ranger Alcohol Inks
Hi everyone! Welcome back to the blog. It’s Shari here to show you an older technique that I’ve just discovered.
I was is AWE of Tim Holtz’s brilliant use of canned air to get splatters with alcohol inks. Did I say Brilliant??? It’s amazing, fun and honestly a bit addictive. I couldn’t wait to give it a try.
I used six colors of alcohol inks and also Pearl Mixative. All this was done on Ranger’s Glossy card stock. After adding color to my paper, I used a couple rub-on sheets to complete the look.
To finish things off, I added my greeting with the Chiseled Industrious letter stickers and some stained Crinkle Ribbon. Be sure to check out the links below for all the colors I used.
I put together a video of the process, hope you enjoy!
