To start with I chose some alcohol inks and popped these onto Yupo cardstock. Yupo is a synthetic card that is waterproof, it is also shiny and needs to have a Archival Ink to stamp on it.
These were a bit brighter than I expect so have no idea what I am going to do with these but watch this space 😀
Next I used alcohol inks on the Yupo cardstock again, but this time I used the Ranger Lift Off solution to take a print off the card! Once the inks have been applied to the Yupo card, blended with the blending solution, once dry I applied the Lift Off Solution to the top of the card and brayered this across the card. I then applied to the normal cardstock to the Yupo card and pressed it down to take a print.
This tends to give a slightly more muted look and you still have the Yupo cardstock that you can use again, by applying more inks and repeating the process. This is what the original Yupo card looked like after I had taken the print:
The following picture shows a number of prints that were all taken off the same piece of Yupo card, which I reinked a number of times!
In the coming weeks I will have a play with some of these backgrounds and see what I can do with them. I really enjoyed this process and found that I used inks I have had for years, so it was nice to get some old crafting items out to play with 😇
Anyhow, that is all from me this week and I hope you are all keeping well and safe.
