Tip For Using Alcohol Inks On Clear Shapes Options

[Patti Hamil]

Sometimes it's hard to figure out just how to use one of those "ghost" or clear shapes. I've found that alcohol inks are really easy. You can use one solid color or mix several for a different look. In this months kit we got some BoBunny clear arrows and circles. I used the circles on my "Country Boy" layout. For this look I used just one color per circle, and honestly these colors are so similar 2 of them look the same!

To achieve the look, just choose your color, put several drops on the felt applicator pad and apply to the images. It dries almost immediately.


Another thing you can do for a quick embellishment (I used a heart) choose several colors, I used lettuce and cranberry. Place a few drops of each on the applicator and apply. Then after it dries take a stamp with script or printing on it and stamp on top with Stazon ink. Add a couple of little touches like a bloom or ribbon and you have a cute embellie.

I was admiring your colored circles from the reveal the other day and wondered if you had used staz - on ink. I would really like to try this - guess I'll need some alcohol inks and some stazon ink. TFS - it's a lovely embellishment.
