E-Team Blog Hop: It's Better with Color Part 3 - Alcohol Inks

It's time for Part 3 of "It's Better with Color" series. I challenged the E-Team to dust off their Ranger Alcohol Inks and get re-acquainted with some techniques. There are so many uses for Alcohol Inks so you'll get to see a variety of uses from the E-Team. 


Do you remember those alcohol inks in your stash? If you are new to this medium, just know that the Ranger Adirondack Alcohol Inks comes in many colors, is fast drying, and adheres to slick surfaces like metal, plastic, acetate, dominoes and glossy paper. There is a Blending Solution that is sold separately that helps to lighten colors and also assist in cleaning up alcohol inks.


Here a several visuals to help with a simple use of alcohol inks:

You can also use an Alcohol Ink Fillable Pen to ink up individual staples and other metal embellishments. 

There are so many techniques and projects that you apply alcohol ink to. Here are some eclectic Paperie video tutorials that you can view for inspiration.



It will be a cozy E-Team blog hop this holiday weekend so make sure you visit these talented ladies to see what they created with alcohol ink.
