I wonder if...
that's how this technique developed...
I wondered how tim's/Ranger's
NEW Adirondack snow cap alcohol ink mixativewould work on
I was hoping to create a verdigris/rusty looking background...
with texture...
that I could stamp on...
since alcohol inks are transparent, they don't show up well on dark surfaces...if at all...
here's the HOWEVER...
in it's unedited video state...
with the big DUH...still left in...
a blooper of sorts...
but hey...
it's the REAL me...
yikes!
here's a closer look @ the back of the glassine envelope...
I'm very pleased with the result...
the inks/glassine combo seems to make the envelope really strong/sturdy...
perfect for mailing...
or pages for a mini book?
I hope you enjoyed the video & that you'll take a minute to try it!
I used juniper & cloudy blue ...
but try it with other alcohol ink colors...
stream would be a good choice...
let me know how you do!
I'm off to find some archival ink & a studio 490 stamp...
something appropriate for a cute glassine envelope...
in fact...
I think I'll...
make art!

Wow, great effect!
This looks so cool! But I gotta say the better 'yikes' moment is when you say to highlight your cracks. I was laughing my backside off! Guess my funny bone is easily tickled some days...lol!
I love the look of this! Wonder how it would work if you mix the AIs and the mixative on the craft sheet and swipe the glasseine over it??? Hmmm....gotta go try both ways!
I love this technique Wendy! I'm working on some Fall and Winter mini books and these would make great pages!
Thanks
Cool, cool, Cool, Wendy!!!!
Now where to get FAST a snow cap alcohol ink mixative?! That's the question of today.
hugs and say hi to Rick!!!

Great video! Love the technique. FYI... after your video ended another video was offered on alcohol inks by Jennifer McQuire that was also very informative. I just today found a store that has the snow cap mixative - hooray!
Love this look and thanks for sharing the video with us!
ooh cor blimey, I tried it with Picket Fence Stain but it disappeared... never would I have thought to try the Alcohol Ink version... how coolio!!!! Thanks for sharing... see you... on Friday!!!! Eeeeeeeeee, am over the top excited!!! xx
Thanks Wendy, this is a neat technique that fits right into my creative style. Loved it! Thanks for sharing.
Need to get this mixative - must go shopping! Love the look, thanks for the cool video.
Love it! I can't wait to try it!
I'll be trying this one very soon!
That is SUCH a great idea! I'm always looking for something new to do with the Glassine. Thanks Wendy!
Verra, verra cool!!!!!! And I like the duh!!!! :-))
A must try technique. The result is great. Ya gotta love new techniques.
Great video! LOVE this technique.
This looks so fun and messy and the finished product is fab. Something else to try once I track down some of that adirondack White.
TFS - loving that verdigris look a lot! Great idea!
I have the glassine and now know what to do with it. Thanks Wendy, you're the best in making art!
very cool, thanks for sharing!

Great technique, fab video & wonderful inspiration as always
YEP! great gift card idea there woman...u rock!
Just sneaked a peek in my lunchhour! Great and inspiring technique but wished I'd looked at home! I'll spend all afternoon wishing I can have a try now!
I have to leave another comment. I experimented with your technique (love the result!), my idea of using the craft sheet instead of the blending tool (also cool, but a little muddy), and then with pearl mixative instead of snow cap (dark, but interesting) and (no surprise), your way is the BEST way, and that patina look is fabulous. (I used a light blue and a light green instead of two blues).
Thanks, Wendy!

Very, very cool! I also liked "highlight your cracks" lol! and your watch is toooo cool.
Oh my gosh - this is so cool. Thanks for sharing and I will be sure to highlight "your cracks" when playing. U r way too funny - and such an inspiration! Loving the duh!
I've been wanting to give alcohol inks a try but wasn't sure how to use them....thanks for sharing your technique! :)
Thanks for sharing the video... great way to use the AIs differently!
Thanks for the tutorial! I am addicted to alcohol inks--could it be the alcohol? haha. come by for my latest alcohol ink project!

can't wait to try this technique but on a glassine paper not envelope for a background effect
WHERE ARE YOU....... Did you drown in your making art day..... LOL. Loved what you did with the glassine papers........ You are such a smarty pants.......
Very cool look.
Not only is the technique really cool but I have to commend you on how it was video-d. You show only the technique and go from there. There are so many that show a person from a distance and never zoom in on the project. I don't need to know what someone looks like, I need the information. So, thanks for that. Great!
