Alcohol Ink Mini Tutorial
Have you been wondering how to use alcohol inks? Today I will show you how easy it is. You can create a palate that coordinates with you favourite designer paper, just like I did. Ranger provides information on the products I use today. As well as Ranger alcohol ink, I also use Pinata alcohol ink.
Supplies: alcohol ink, blending solution, Ranger handle pouncer, felt, glossy cardstock, India Ink from Memories or Stazon
Drop dots of alcohol ink, in a variety of colours, onto the felt pad
Lightly spread blending solution over the ink
Pounce the blended alcohol ink onto glossy cardstock
Continue pouncing until you are happy with the results
Use a permanent such as Stazon or Memories “India Ink” and stamp out your image
To create the background I cut squares out of designer paper and adhered it to my black background. This is an A2 size card (5 1/2 x 4 1/4). Orange squares are 2″ x 2 1/2″.
Stamped image was adhered directly onto the designer paper. Notice how the paper and alcohol ink background blends.
I hope you enjoyed this surprise tutorial. See you on Tuesday for another one.

Beth’s Tips
- Pinata inks are more vibrant than Ranger alcohol inks. Mix the two for surprising results.
- Money saving tip: cut up your own white felt rather than buy refill packages.
- By choosing your designer paper after you pounced out your colour, you get a true colour match.
