Adding Foil to Alcohol Inked Backgrounds (VIDEO + GIVEAWAY!)

8 Feb

Good morning!  I know it’s been awhile since I’ve shared a video but now that Creativation is over I’m going to try to be a little more regular with video posts!  However, I hope you’ll forgive me because this is one I’m really excited to share and I hope you’ll like it, too!!

Adding Foil Accents to Alcohol Inked Backgrounds by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Simon Says Stamp

As you can probably tell from my Instagram feed, I’m totally head over heels for alcohol inks these days!  I was working on swatching all my inks earlier this week and got a little annoyed because some of my inks didn’t want to dry completely.  After accidentally smearing a swatch or two I hunted out the wet ones and set them aside to dry for 24 hours.  But who wants to wait that long when you’re making a card, right?!  So I wanted to figure out a way to deal with those sticky areas.  I tried a few things…first I just dusted the sticky areas with powder from my powder bag.  And that worked, but it also dulled the alcohol ink and that wasn’t what I was looking for.  Then I tried blotting it with copy paper…which also worked but left residue on the copy paper which meant it was pulling the ink off the paper.  But that gave me the idea that it was sticky enough that it might hold something else…something like FOIL!  I’m already in love with the bright vibrant look of alcohol inks…but now I can add shiny metallic accents?! *SWOON* 😉

You can watch the video below or in HD at my Youtube channel!

Honestly, it’s the simplest trick…no laminator or fancy tools needed!  Just foil and alcohol inks!  After you finish applying the alcohol ink to your liking press a piece of foil over the ink (really press it in…I used a brayer to apply even pressure but your fingers work just fine, too!) and then carefully peel it off.  Any areas where your alcohol ink was wet will adhere to the foil leaving behind these shiny areas that look almost like granite or marble!  And the more ink you use, the more likely you’ll develop those sticky areas where the ink pools.  And as you’ll see in the video I was able to use an air puffer to speed up the drying process in certain areas of the paper but leave other areas wet.

Adding Foil Accents to Alcohol Inked Backgrounds by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Simon Says Stamp

It’s very tricky to photograph but in the photo above you can see the foil on the shiny areas on the left side of the card.  You can also see a little bit of the turquoise color of the foil underneath the words “you more.”  I finished my first card with stamps and dies from Simon Says Stamp, the full supply list is linked below!  But when I trimmed my alcohol ink panel down to adhere to the card base I was left with a few strips of the background.  And I didn’t want to just throw them away! 😉

So I die-cut the thanks sentiment using the leftover strip and adhered it to a white card base.  Then I stamped the sentiment from Thoughtful Messages with Simon Says Stamp Blue Violet ink to match the alcohol ink.  Finally I added a few gems for a little extra sparkle.  There’s just a touch of foil along the “t” and the “h” but it really sparkles when it catches the light!  It’s a fun way to use scraps to create a bright but CAS card!

And that’s it!  I hope this inspires you to try combining foil and alcohol inks!  I can’t wait to try gilding flakes and other mediums next! 😉

I’d love to give someone else the opportunity to experiment with alcohol inks and foiling so I’ve put together a little package with some foil sheets, yupo paper, and alcohol inks for one lucky commenter!  Please leave me a comment letting me know if you’ve ever used alcohol inks before and if you’d like to see more alcohol ink experiments from me (or if you want me to go back to other mediums, ha)! 😉 Please leave your comments before 11:59PM EST on Sunday, February 11th, 2018!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you have a fantastic Thursday!

    I’ve played with alcohol inks a few times. They’re a LOT of fun and I’m trying to gradually add to my colors. This is so gorgeous and who knew you could foil so easily?! I can’t wait to try it and see what it looks like IRL. And a great reminder to not throw away those scraps! Thanks Jess!

    I’ve not used the alcohol inks from the bottle as you’ve done here.
    I think I have some of the inks (very old so they may not be the
    same). going to have to try this technique. I have lots of foil
    but – as usual – I’ve not really done much with them. So many
    ideas, so little time. thanks for sharing.

    Love your results. Have done a little fouling and alcohol inks – not together. Noticed those sticky areas so thanks for away lovely way to deal with them. I really enjoy playing with so many crafty things that I need more hours in the day. Of course I also need to organize so I can find my TOYS! Decisions, decisions?

    Gorgeous cards and alcohol ink background, love the idea to use up the scraps with word dies too! I have jumped on the alcohol ink bandwagon and have a few colors but I never jumped on the foil bandwagon because I didn’t want to buy (and find room for) a laminator. So your technique of foiling those long drying spots is BRILLIANT, GENIUS!! Thanks so much for sharing this technique and for another awesome video tutorial. I would LOVE to see more with alcohol inks!

    Oh yes, I have used them, but many many years ago. I dare venture it was 2000, in my early stamping/convention days. I was so gaga for the “polished stone” look when it came out. Still have ink leftover and am checking it now. I am inspired to get them out again and work on a project…or ten projects with them. Thanks for the inspiration. Both cards are wonderful. 🙂

    I haven’t been in the crafty world long enough to have an old stash of alcohol inks! (At least, that seems to be where most people started this new trend; pulling out the dust-covered bottles and going for it.) But no, I haven’t tried alcohol inks. As I sit here with my space heater blowing directly at me, I’m starting to think that’s a good thing. However, like you, I do love the vibrant look that the alcohol inks give. The blues on this card are so perfect with the turquoise foil; I love a good blue, and these are great blues.

    As far as what I want to see from you, I have always been of the opinion that I don’t get to make demands of people who are sharing their creativity and teaching us for free. You’re already being so generous with your time and energy; I’ll watch whatever you want to put out. Also, I think being excited about something (a design, a product, a color, whatever) always creates the most interesting content. If you’re happy playing with something, it totally comes through, and it makes me happy to see and learn from. So, tl;dr, you do you, and I’ll cheer you on. 🙂

    Yes, yes, yes! I am fascinated with these products and amazed at the glorious results. The colors are so rich and deep and the designs are so fluid! I tend to be a bit of a control freak, so it will take some real effort to be able to do this, but I am so excited to try. I bought some foil a long time ago and never need up using it, so I guess I’ll have to jump in with alcohol inks. Thanks for all this inspiration and a chance to play along.

Disclosure

I design for several companies because I truly love their products! Anything I recommend on my blog is something that I genuinely love and regularly use. I do not get paid for product reviews and I will never recommend a product that I do not like or would not use.

I am affiliated with several of my favorite crafty companies which means I receive a small commission (at no additional cost to you!!) when you click on one of my links and make a purchase through the store.

You can find my full disclosure as well as a list of the companies I am affiliated with HERE. Thank you so much for supporting me!
