    Have you struggled with Alcohol inks? I hope this method helps you!

      I don’t often like how my alcohol ink backgrounds turn out. Yours are SO classy! I don’t have T!m’s huffer tool, which might make a difference in my creations. I need to play again. I also need to work on my batching and organizing. oh and this one ❤should get more than 1 thumbs up👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 but, alas, I am not allowed to say how I truly feel by youtube. I hope you are enjoying this glorious day in the mitten. 🌞

    I ordered some of the micro dot adhesive sheets after seeing your review video and I like them. Your alcohol ink cards are very pretty and I like how you die cut them before adding the ink. I usually die cut after I've used the inks and lose all my white space.

    Love this video! I am not clear on the die cut. Is this a tool for cutting the paper and is there a video on this? Thanks.

    • @amyswares
      @amyswares  Рік тому

      You know I don't have a vid about it but this is good inspiration to make one. These are thin metal dies that you put on top of the paper and then sandwich it between the cutting plates and run it through an embossing/die cutting machine that applies a lot of pressure and then it cuts the paper. I hope this helps.
