Hello friends! I had so much fun getting inky with alcohol inks and the stamp set Refresh the Soul from Joy Clair Designs. I made the best discovery… this may not be news to you, but it was to me. You can print digital stamps onto Yupo Paper!!!! Game changer! This just adds to my digital stamp techniques. Stick around and find out how!
I mentioned that I created this background with alcohol inks on Yupo paper, but did you notice that my sentiment isn’t popped up or printed onto another piece of paper? I am pointing that so that you are aware that digital stamps can be printed onto Yupo using a laser printer. I was so happy to find that out because it is just another way to use your digital stamps. I started out by sizing and printing the sentiment from Refresh The Soul onto Yupo paper, and trimming the panel to an A2 size. From there I applied three alcohol inks in a diagonal and spread it using alcohol blending solution.
Tip: do this in a well ventilated area. For a flowy appearance use the base of a Con air 2-in-1 Hot Air Curling Brush
After my background was complete, I printed the bird image from Refresh The Soul onto smooth cardstock and colored it with Copic markers. I fussy cut the bird out and popped it up with foam tape to add dimension to my card. Super simple… and so much fun! You have got to try this out!!!
