Alcohol Ink on Yupo Paper

Hello stampers! I have another card to share today using alcohol ink on yupo paper, combined with dimensional flowers.

I really like the look of alcohol ink on yupo paper, but haven't had any yupo paper at home for quiet a while. After making a bright card a couple of weeks ago, I was in the mood for darker colours and more texture. 

I used Simon Says Stamp Yupo paper and started layering down alcohol inks, both with an ink-blending tool and by adding drops of ink or Alcohol Ink Blending Solution on the paper. 

I finished with a tiny bit of Silver Mixative.

Next, I used Alcohol Lift-Ink with Simon Says Stamp Old Letter and Stained Glass stamps. Wipe with a soft cloth.

Die cut Simon Says Stamp Etched Magnolia Blossom from heavystock paper. My paper had already been colored with Antique Linen and a little Frayed Burlap Distress Ink, giving it this tinted look.

Ink with Distress Ink first and then add just a little Speckled Egg Distress Oxide ink, using an ink blending brush for the latter to get a speckled effect.

Shape the pieces with Tim Holtz Shaping Kit.

Layer the flowers together, adding foam tape for the top layers. I also die cut leaves with the Simon Says Stamp Tattered Leaves die and inked them in the same way.

I like how every area of the background has a different look and that you can spot new colors and shades where ever you look.

The ghost effect from the ink-lifting adds even more texture to the background.

I like the look of the thin stained glass lines.

The sentiment comes from Simon Says Stamp Mixed Labels and was stamped on a Tim Holtz Halloween 2021 Vault banner die.

Here you can see some of the specks of silver.

The Simon Says Stamp Etched Magnolia Blossom die has such interesting details, such as the folded up petal pieces. For another example using this die to make a dimensional flower magnet, check out my Altered Tin tutorial.

The flowers, leaves and banner have quite a bit of dimension.

I hope you enjoyed this project! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by here today!

Happy crafting!
