Scrapbooking Ideas and Solutions – Try Alcohol Inks for your Backgrounds

Alcohol inking is a great technique, as it gives your glossy cardstock that polished stone background.  Alcohol inks can also be used on metal, glass and other slick surfaces for the same effect.  An added bonus of this technique is that each creation is guaranteed to be a unique piece of art.

Step 1:
Take a small block of wood and attach some Velcro to the surface.  The sticky-backed one works best here.

Step 2:
Attach a piece of felt to the Velcro on the block.  This is a perfect opportunity to use up your scraps of felt.

Step 3:
Add a couple of drops of ink to the felt and then dab it onto your glossy white cardstock.  Backs of greeting cards can also be used if you are trying to save.

Step 4:
Apply the colours one at a time, re-inking the felt as you go along.  Dab colour onto your cardstock until it is completely covered and there is no more white showing through.

Step 5:
Sqirt a little blending solutions onto a new piece of felt and pounce it randomly over the surface of the cardstock.

Step 6:
Cut the page to size and use black embossing powder ink to heat-emboss the edges of the page if you prefer.

Voila, you now have a great looking background for your next layout.  This scrapbooking idea and solution is great fun and can save you loads on buying patterned paper.
