Technique: Smooshed Oxides & Alcohol Lift Video
Hi everyone! Laura here and I’m excited to share a couple of projects for Pretty Pink Posh using some new Tim Holtz goodies!
For my first project I created a background using Alcohol inks in the colors Stream, Limeade & Sunshine Yellow. I applied the inks using onto Yupo paper and then using the Tim Holtz Alcohol Lift ink pad I stamped images from the Wild Rose stamp set to create this gorgeous background.
I created a window opening in the background using one of the Scallop Circle dies. For the focal image I used the adorable Koala Friends stamp set, which I colored with Copics. To finish it off I added an embossed sentiment from the Love Sentiments set.
For my next project I did one of my favorite ink smooshing techniques using a few of the new Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink colors. Using a small piece of acetate I smooshed Tumbled Glass, Crushed Olive, Mowed Lawn, Mustard Seed & Ripe Persimmon onto watercolor paper. I flicked a bit of white liquid ink onto the smooshed background for more interest. After the panel was completely dry I die cut it using the Stitched Notes die.
For the images I used the adorable School Friends stamp set and colored them with Copics. To finished it off I embossed a sentiment from the Friends Forever set.
I hope you enjoyed this fun, inky tutorial. Thanks so much to Paulina for having me! Hope you all have a wonderful day!
