Alcohol Ink.mov

This is a tutorial about Ranger Alcohol Inks. The tutorial includes the basics of what alcohol inks are, the tools you'll need, and three different methods of working with them. The one thing that I forgot to mention in the video is that alcohol inks are meant to be used on non-porous surfaces like transparencies, metal, plastic, glitter, sheers, and glossy cardstock (which is *not* photo paper). Enjoy!

Note: I adjusted the music volume in this version.

Demo was good, music was annoying...especially when the volume goes WAY up and then down... Should be just in the background...not in your face!

Good info, annoying music.

Loved the music and the techniques were informative too.

Blending solution is just plain alcohol. Save your money there. You can also use plain alcohol and kool-aid to dye your own inks for card making or art that you don't need to last for centuries. Cheap solution. Be aware that alcohol ink dyes fade over time. Your pictures disappear gradually.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Please eliminate the background music next time. It's very intrusive and detracting.

Nice info sharing.

Thank you! I was getting a bit frustrated with the alcohol inks. I bought some today after watching vids on youtube, but this has encouraged me to try some different things. Thanks again!
