The "white" flower is stunning !
I've learned from many trials that for a good result with the alcohol lift ink you have to repeat the process at least twice, if not more (and specially with softer colors). That's when the Misti saves your project !!! And most important : it is necessary to strongly clean the stamp BEFORE adding the new alcohol lift ink for the second or third "lift".
I think if you put down alcohol first and then add ink you may have less staining. Love alcohol ink. They are like cats and do what they want. Such a challenge and fun to work with. Love both flowers.
Sandy...You are so hilarious...lol I saw Two images (around 2:22/27) on your Yupo before you added the purple alcohol ink...I was yelling STOP Sandy at my computer screen when I saw the Two images which could have been "converted" to birds or eagles...Thank for a good laugh Sandy! Love Your Creative Works of Art! (HUGS)
This is how we learn! I see no mess, only beautiful colors and creativity.
Beautiful cards Sandy, always enjoy watching you create, thanks for sharing, stay safe x
Love it! Keep going till the paper cries uncle! 😆😆. They all turned out beautifully
Wow! You get an A+ for perseverance; the cards are all lovely. I often find myself repeating your mantra when I have a piece that is circling the drain, “Keep trying! What do you have to lose?” My success rate doesn’t approach yours, but I do occasionally manage to bring one back from the brink and I always learn something.
Love the light one
Interesting video, but I think I will leave the alcohol lift ink alone for now. Always fun watching you blow the ink around!
Wow... turned out to be a beautiful mess! Love your talent
If I tried to recover all the "fails" I would be deafened by the "crying uncles". LOL. Still, it is ALWAYS fascinating to watch you do it.
Wow! you are fearless with alcohol ink. So many interesting little lessons here, and I'm glad you left everything in. I think that if you stamp more than once with the Lift ink, you can end up with a clearer image, but I haven't really tried it myself. Great video!
I tried it a few more times after filming and still couldn’t get the thing to work. Bummer!
@@SandyAllnock1 That is consistent with my experience, but I have seen others be more successful.
The pale flower tuned out really pretty. Apparently it’s best to use the lift ink 2 or 3 times to get enough lift for it to be viably lifted. You do the dabbing & polishing each time & clean the stamp so you don’t contaminate the lift ink pad.
I tried it after and still had no success. 😞
I hate airbrushes, so much maintenance. When clogs gets so frustrating- aggravation takes away joy! But I luv your enthusiasm!
The Copic one is fabulous because there’s nothing to clog 😍
Those turned out really beautiful!
Wow. Turned out great
All three of these are really pretty. I tried the alcohol lift ink 2 or 3 days ago and mine didn’t work well either. Glad to know it isn’t just me. I sure didn’t recover mine anywhere near as well as yours. You are the master. 😊
Nice job. I think the white w/the light colored flower is my fav. Glad to know to keep on going even if you think it’s not salvageable cuz never know the end project can turn out beautiful just like yours ❤️
I've learned to save the "hot messes" of alcohol ink endeavors and there have been many. I can always cut them up or rework them totally and some of my favorite alcohol ink projects have resulted from them. :)
As for staining the yupo, try diluting your inks w/alcohol. Just pour off some ink into a small container, add approximately 1/4 of the ink amount of your straight alcohol. I hope that makes sense. Also, with the lift ink, I've had good success with leaving the paper in your stamping tool, wipe off your stamp then reink it with the lift off, and do it a second time. It helps. I hope some of this is helpful to you. Thanks for sharing your failures as well as your successes! Stay safe and be healthy
You know what I got out of this video, several good chuckles! All three cards are beautiful. And I love your attitude! 🧑🦳🥰
Great saves!👍
Wow you are more determined than I think I would be! But it sure paid off in the end. Love how all the cards came out. TFS
I like your hot mess card the best! And you got a most beautiful bonus card with the lightly painted one. And another bonus card with the leftover ink. Darn it - I have been avoiding that stamp because the thought of coloring all of those itty bitty petals was not very appealing. But you got such beautiful results with a little bit of painting.... I might *need* it.....
Very inspiring!
I think you should immediately wipe away alcohol ink when you've stamp it with Lift-ink and then repeat the process. It might work. But your versions are pretty too because you're so talented.
🤩
Love Therese! Thanks for sharing alcohol ink techniques.
Solid stamps are definitely better for the Lift technique, although I haven't been particularly impressed with any of my results! Fun watching you and listening to your commentary about your own unsatisfactory results!
Great video! Off to check out the class. Thank you.
I have been trying alcohol lift ink for awhile with not much luck. There must be a nack to it that I don’t know about.
Love this, so pretty:-)
Pretty! I think that between the alcohol and blowing the ink around, there wasn't enough alcohol ink left on the paper for the lift ink to work well. Try putting the alcohol ink on the paper with less alcohol and then using the lift ink.
It’s not your stamp, I had the same problem with my lift ink. I did the same as you and tried to lift with rubbing alcohol and blending solution. After watching Jeniffer do her lift inking I realised that my lift ink pad was probably too dry. One thing that did help in lifting was to repeat stamp with the lift ink but clean in between each lift or you stain your pad... ask me how I know that lol. The staining you got is normal for strong pigments. Blues, reds and purples always stain yupo. There is a craft paper dura-lar that doesn’t stain with these colours, or you can pre-dilute the strong colours with alcohol before you drop them on. Helps with the whispy look and reduces staining a bit, plus it makes your colours last a bit longer.
I’m a little miffed if my ink pad is too dry on the first try 😟
Sandy Allnock I know! So was I!!! I guess the lift ink doesn’t store well over time. I’m attempting to get a reinker to test my theory but everywhere is out of stock here. If I do manage to get one I will let you know if my theory is correct, however because I managed to lift after 4/5 attempts I am kinda convinced already that it’s dry!
I love alcohol ink. Myriam’s channel is great she has lots of info about ink. She shows her boo boos too. I often just get frustrated and throw stuff away. Great job.
I have found that the lift ink works best with repeated stamping and blottings.
I really appreciate your showing your so-called boo boos, because I learn a lot from them along with you!
Am I the only one that saw the turn of the century woman's head/ left-facing, 3/4 profile, with a big plume hat at the 6:30 mark?
I had an issue with alcohol ink and alloy when I used the lift ink it all started wiping off even tho dry.
I have tried the lift ink twice to no avail. Darker backgrounds work better but still not great. I’ll let you know if the re-inker helps any otherwise I’m ready to toss it.
Question on the airbrush as I'm a bit confused! I'm interested in ONLY an airbrush setup without a compressor..and only to blow alcohol ink. The Gocheer one seems to be an all in one. What do you have yours connected to...the power supply or your compressor?
It works with the gocheer handheld compressor but it’s not as strong and consistent as a regular compressor.
