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.



Visit the 4 blogs in this E-Team hop for a chance to win a $20 eclectic Paperie gift voucher. One comment per person per blog, please.  You have until today, Thursday, June 30th to Monday, July 4th to visit each blog participant.  A winner will be chosen from the 4 blog hop participants. Winners will be posted on the eclectic Paperie Blog on Tuesday, July 5th so make sure you check back to claim your prize.


There is also one additional prize to be won here on the eclectic Paperie blog. Leave a comment  about your favorite alcohol ink tip or technique; or even a link to your favorite alcohol ink creation. eP Blog winner will receive a box of alcohol ink goodies and some surprises, too.

All winners will be posted eclectic Paperie blog on Tuesday, July 5th.


If you want to try out some new inks or get more for your art arsenal, eclectic Paperie is offering 20% off all Ranger Adirondack Alcohol Inks this holiday weekend.

New E-Team Blog Hop Series: It's Better With Color

The E-Team is starting a new blog hop series called, "It's Better with Color!" Part 1 is Coloring with Stampavie. These line art images are designed by artists such as Mo Manning, Penny Johnson and Sarah Kay. Stampavie stamps are unmounted acrylic stamps with lots of fine details. That makes them the perfect candidate for coloring. I challenged the E-Team to break out their Copic Markers, inks, and watercoloring skills for this blog hop. We all learned to color in school but no one ever said you had to stop. With the right medium and tools, coloring can be fun.


The E-Team chose their favorite Stampavie image. Their mission was to color away using any medium and tools.  To make it more fun, we also invited the Stampavie Design Team who also took on the challenge. The range of coloring, use of color, and overall design will amaze you. There is something for everyone and you'll see some images that will make you look at that stamp in another way.
