Exploring Alcohol Ink Techniques on Poster Board
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 лис 2024
- Have you ever experimented with alcohol inks on poster board? I first saw my friend @marypolancodesigns use it. The results can be truly surprising and stunning. The way the inks spread and blend on the surface creates unique patterns and vibrant colors that are quite different from what you get on traditional synthetic paper. It's a fascinating technique that can yield beautiful and unexpected outcomes, perfect for creating abstract art or enhancing mixed media projects. If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend giving it a go-you might be amazed at the artistic possibilities it offers!

I love to do it all. I share a lot of mixed media projects. I love using a lot of different mixed media techniques. I also love stamping and card making.
Hi Tiffany! You can totally make your own blending solution. It doesn’t have resin in it-it’s glycerin. Recipe: 2 oz rubbing alcohol 3-5 drops of glycerin. I hope this helps! Can’t wait to get that poster board paper from DT! ♥️ that last one is just gorgeous! Before you use it on a project, photocopy it so you can always have extras of your one-of-a-kind art!
Thanks for the tip
@@LoJo99You’re very welcome!!!
Wow! Thanks for the recipe!!
Thank you for sharing! ❤❤❤
That’s good to know Ty
"I'm not an expert or anything" 🤣 Yes, Tiffany! Yes, you are an expert! That's why I enjoy watching you and learning from you! 😄
I love how you just layered and layered to get such a beautiful result. I also like that the poster board didn’t appear to warp that much.
That last panel came out seriously gorgeous. This is the only paper I've been using for my alcohol inks for years.
Those were so beautiful. I have to try it. Thank you for sharing. 😃
Loved the purple and gold…. I love to play with alcohol inks.
This is amazing! Excited to try!!!!!!!
That last piece is stunning!
Tiffany, you are a delight! I could tell you were initially a little disappointed with the trial, but as things progressed, I could tell you were then getting excited by possibilities. Great teaching moments! I do enjoy your trial-and-error videos. When it comes to crafting, what I SHOULDN'T do is as important as what I SHOULD do and I appreciate your experimentations!
Thank you for showing us how it worked while you played around with it. I love the colors you used.
I have learned a lot from watching you. I’m glad I found your channel!🩷
WOW that last one is gogorgeous ❤
Thanks for experimenting for us! I thought they all looked beautiful. 😍 What colors did you use? Specifically the blue... gorgeous!
I do one color at a time and then I'm able to move faster so it doesn't soak in as much
Thank you for posting this video, it is so helpful to see your process. And much more realistic if you don’t get it “right” the first time like you mentioned. You said in the video you don’t consider yourself an expert with alcohol ink but I would argue you are! You are my go to for anything with alcohol ink. You are an expert! Thank you!
That looks beautiful! I hope that the technique can be done on more than just poster boards because I want to do it on paper and everything!!
Regular paper won't work. It is way to porous. You can do it on the back of photo paper.... synthetic paper, vellum, and acetate, just to name a few. I hope that helps.
Wow! These are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your experiments with poster board. I really like the depth of colors you achieved. I’m pulling out some poster board to play! ❤
This is great video. I love that last piece. It is absolutely amazing!❤
I’m so so glad you show the practice tries!
Thank you for sharing your experiment experience. Came out great ❤
Awesome experiment. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this video, Tiffany! I enjoyed your course you did with Mary and now I will try this when I get my courage up too. Lol 😊
I've used poster board for a couple of years, it die cuts beautifully. I also love using mineral paper, it gives a fabulous result.
I never heard of mineral paper. I google it. Thanks
Good morning Tiffany and everyone!
Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for showing your process and not just the finished product
I have gotten plastic posterboard from Michael’s and it works really really well. They sell it in white and translucent or at least they used to and I would practice on them and it was amazing.
So awesome!
I love those alcohol inked backgrounds.
I'm kinda jealous, that you guys can buy such stuff at the dollar store or like rubbing alcohol in the grocery store.... Really great!
Great video- super idea to show us the process as it really plays out. Really enjoying your latest videos.
So beautiful!!!!!
Loved your experiment and it came out beautiful! Will give it a try too.
Love this! Beautiful!
The last one is definitely gorgeous!
Man that's beautiful!
It's beautiful.
Great video Tiffany! It would be great if we can see the Poster board and Yupo side by side!
Thank you for sharing this. Love how the last one turned out. What is the 'Alloy' you used? The gold? I could not find anything in your description.
gorgeous
I used poster board when i swatched my alcohol inks, because i wanted to save my more expensive papers for other things 😁
I definitely like the poster paper over photo paper - and the blending solution tip really - gonna try this - I LOVE ALCOHOL INKING BLENDING
Tiffany, what is the difference between the blending solution and isopropyl??
Are used to do alcohol inks a few years back. I have hundreds of colors decided to pull it out and try on poster board that I did get from dollar tree. And you’re right you do have to work fast I tried both the blending solution and the alcohol and I didn’t have the little blower thing so I just used a straw and I think it turned out really well. Here is kind of a warning when I first started doing alcohol inks I did it as a relaxation technique and hopefully it would help me sleep so after maybe the first couple of hours I felt really tired and so I laid down and I thought wow, it did help relax me so I could sleep well my kids came over and I let them know and they looked at the blending solution and it has ether in it?…. So every body got a good laugh so for the most part, I just started using alcohol, but was really carefully and only use the blending solution in a well ventilated room.
Very pretty.
I use poster board a lot..thanks
And it helps for me to put hand sanitizer on first
Love these backgrounds going to give it a go ❤
So fun! Gotta try. On another note: Where did you get the “22 A Day” bracelet? I lost a niece that came back from Baghdad with PTSD.
I’ll be trying this! I like the thing you are using for movement, I’ve been blowing through a straw. Where did you find it?
It's called "alcohol ink air blower" by Tim Holtz.
It was having you in chat!
try mixing a little blending solution with th alcohol ink to avoid the spots??
I found some at hobby lobby and it felt like plastic so I tried it . Works just like other AI paper but it does curl a little more at the edges.
Do you need blending solution to use inks
Some specialty alcohol inks (like metallics, alloys and pearls...maybe others) set better with blending solution than just alcohol. I have found they rub off super easily if I just use alcohol. Hope that helps!
Alloy is gold?
There are a few different Alloy colors.
Are you saying smolder pearl as the color you used? Is that a ranger product? Can’t find it . . . please clarify.! Laura
It is an alcohol pearl ink from Ranger, with the color name “smolder.” It is a mix of black and gold.
Where can we purchase poster board suitable for using alcohol inks on? Is there something in the description I should watch for? Is it just everyday poster board? I live in Canada and I don’t know if our dollar store here carries this, if someone mentions getting it there.
It should be just every day poster board. It is sort of glossy on one side. Or has a slick surface on one side and then just cardstock on the other side. I hope that helps.
How do you seal the ink?
I use Kamar Varnish Spray.
What is blending solution? Where can I get it?
I see it at Michael’s right with the AI
Do you need blending solution to use inks?
Has anyone tried adding hand sanitizer with alcohol inks to poster board?
Carpal tunnel is in your future I fear.
What does that mean??
