Alcohol Lift-Ink (& mixative) tutorial

Time: <1 hour
Yield:  1 - #8 Tag (will most like be added to a card)
Wet Ingredients:
  • Ink – Alcohol Botanical, Mushroom, Patina, Rust; Alcohol Lift Ink
  • Other – Clear Gesso; Gunmetal & Silver Mixative

  • Blending Tool (with both felt & foam)
  • Dies – Tag & Bookplate

let the magic begin... 
 following tim's instructions for using lift-ink the
first stamp and lift will look like it didn't work
 the second application is magical
  

  

  

 i float the alcohol inks on a lot (a lot) of water
  
 i added the black soot to dingy it up a bit, the stamped
 colour will be much brighter if you omit this step
  

  

  this lift is all about putting ink on the stamp
 tim was right, i love how 
imperfect the transfer of colour is

  

  
...another idea tried, more ideas to test.

  5. I thought Tim said in one of his videos that the lift wouldn't work on metallics? Looks good anyway.
