Go check out the great tutorial Cindy did on OWH Stars and Stamps today.
Brief rundown of supplies:

Copic Markers
White pigment ink and white embossing powder
Blue organdy ribbon from JoAnn
circle punch from Fiskars
Photo corner punch from EK
Gem by Tulip
I used 50% rubbing alcohol since it's what I had. Cindy recommended 91%. I didn't get a lot of color variation and I wonder if the stronger alcohol would have provided this. I also used a heat tool to speed the drying time instead of being patient!
I thought this was a cool technique and want to try it with paler colors next time.

Hi Kathryn - Love your colors! It's great that you tried this. I don't know, but as you said, it might be that the 50% alcohol is too weak. Also, the effect takes a little time to develop, so you might try letting it dry naturally, at least to see what happens. It's definitely a "science experiment," as one commenter wrote!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool card Kathryn... looks like a fun technique, I might have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing your card ~ Pam
