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!

I agree it’s fun to blow the AI around. I really like your card design and the fact that you used rub ons on your card.

Wow, what a fantastic collage look, wonderful colors too. Love the size and placement on the card too!
Love the look of this!!…going to have to pull out the under used alcohol inks and play!!
Shari~ this is a wonderful video. I am teaching this technique at my card club in Dec. and your card has given me so many more ideas to use. I have always used a straw, but canned air looks so much easier. Can’t wait to get to my studio. Thanks for sharing.
This is brilliant… and I have all the supplies on hand! I am off to give it a go. Thank you for sharing!
Great look at an older technique. Really nice. Thank you.
Great card love it!!!
Thank you for the video. I loved watching you create this. My heart got all happy.
Love your bright card. I can’t get alcohol inks to do what I want. Maybe time to try again LOL
I absolutely love the look of this card! What a great technique!
Love love love your use of Rub-ons. I have never fallen out of love with them, and I think they are great for so many projects! Especially this one on Glossy. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely fabulous, so creative! x
Wow! This is fabulous and so very artsy!
I had never seen this technique. Loved it. Gorgeous card.
I love, love, this card and can’t wait to try this out. I have the canned air already, what an awesome idea. So cool !!! Thanks Tracey M.
Absolutely gorgeous I’ve tried the straw technique but this looks a bit easier and more fun!
Great card
What a gorgeous result! The ink is so vibrant, it is amazing how much difference the air makes in the final result!
This card is a WORK OF ART! You are AMAZING, SO TALENTED!
Fabulous card Shari! I love how you created the vibrant pop of splattered color under those perfectly placed rub-on! Magnificent!
Shari Carroll you continue to amaze me.
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG !!!!!!!
I really REALLY like almost everything you do, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE this card !
Thank you SO much for sharing this technique — I am going to try this right now — I am too excited to sleep !!
What a fun idea. I am wondering if the Tim Holtz sprayer will work as it puffs out air. I might have to give it a try!! Love your card.
Wow, this is beautiful and unique!
This is a fun technique. Love your card!

Cool technique and beautiful card. I remember seeing Tim do this once. Thanks for the inspiration. Now I’ll have to try it.

I haven’t seen this technique before. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for revisiting this technique – we all need to do that!
I remember doing this with a straw and feeling light-headed. I’m headed to the store for canned air. What fun. I’ve also “toasted” the end of my fingers drying crinkle ribbon, so now it’s going in a glass dish. Thank you!
This was a fascinating video to watch. Thanks for jogging our memories, Shari!
