I was amazed at how simple it is to use, yet how effective the results. Here’s my first play with it...
- I put a few drops of alcohol ink onto the glass section of my glass media mat. Added a few drops of blending solution and dragged a piece of white yupo heavystock through.
- Once the background was dry I inked up my stamp with lift-ink and stamped.
- I used the travel stamp platform so I had the option to stamp a second time if necessary, (it wasn’t).
- I dabbed away the lift-ink with kitchen paper and finally buffed the image to expose the negative.
- I love how clear even tiny detailed stamps are when using the lift-ink.
- I stamped a second time into distress mixed media heavystock. LOVE the faded print I got.
- Using the non stick mat portion of the glass media mat, I spritzed several distress spray stains and misted with water. The ink really beads on the mat, which is exactly what you want.
- I dragged my piece if heavystock through and dried with a heat tool. I swiped the edges through vintage photo distress spray stain and let them wick a little before drying with a heat tool.
- I blended a little iced spruce distress ink though a mini stencil.
- Stitched the edges with my sewing machine and mounted onto classic and metallic kraft stock.
- I added a die cut number and gear, as well as an adornment arrow with a fuse wrapped around it.
- Finally I added a little vintage cord to the side of the card.
The second card is definitely the one I prefer and I even had enough ink left on the stamp for second print. I’m
so impressed with the lift-ink, it’s given me a new appreciation for
alcohol inks and it’s a technique I plan to play with further.
I hope you have a great and creative weekend.
