I love making my own ink like this. Old dry permanent markers also work giving them an upcycle 2nd life. Thanks for this detailed instruction and the beautiful bible verse.❤
Hello, glad I happened upon your channel, I love your overlay of scripture, even more lovely. Thank you for sharing your craft my dear, hugs and love from Australia.❤❤❤
This is a compliment I watch your videos at night,they help me wind down an go to sleep. Please take this the right way I do love your work in quite an pease ❤
I was browsing on different channels and really like your style it's beautiful and vintage very lovely, I love your pop up bible verse ❤️ I can't wait to watch more of your videos
Wait Robin I need to hear more! As in the distress ink pad? Food coloring on top? What type of food coloring gel or liquid? I have so many questions 😅😅😅
@@karatootieHi Ingrid, I guess I should've clarified that I did not use tape I used vellum. I took some wide strips of vellum, sporadically covered with vintage photo distress ink pad, then sprayed with some liquid yellow food coloring. I put the food coloring in a little spray bottle. I also have some old vintage photo distressed stain that has a dauber on the end, also used that and sprayed again with yellow liquid food coloring. I just played around with it until I liked the color. Side note, the velum will curl up, but after it dries you can straighten it out easily with your fingers. I use barely arts glue to attach it to my projects since the velum doesn't have a sticky side. You can tear the velum very easily to the size you want and create that jagged edge look.
I enjoy and appreciate ye sharing scripture with us !! As welll as spending time with ye !! This a wonderful and much less expensive way to make the tape !! I just cant seem to work well with alcohol inks and used GOLDEN transparent paint, which is expensive!! So again appreciate ye, your talents !@ god bless 😊❤
I remember AL John. Is she still on youtube? I had forgotten about her. She also did like a $5 dollar tree stock up thing. Each week she would buy things and if she didnt use the whole$5 then it was put back and added to the next weeks money. Neat series. Im gonna have to look her up again. Thanks for the reminder! Have a good day.
I’m always talking about how we do something all the time and then completely forget about it…like hoooow? There are these sandwiches I love making and I forget about them all the time! As far as I know she is still on here. I’ll have to go check out the $5 stock up thing! Thanks!! 🫶🏼💕💕
LOL, when you said you thought you needed a drum roll, I thought it was gonna be for pouring the alcohol into such a little bottle, and on camera no less! 🥁🥁🥁 I was THERE for ya, babe! THAT was impressive! 👏👏 I listen to Bible verses throughout the night, and often wake up to John 19:27. ❤✝️🙌 Ingrid, you are BRILLIANT! I've dropped a few dimes on the brown tones of alcohol ink, but I surely can use s'more! Maybe something turquoise-y for patina? I made alcohol inks years ago with acrylic paint, and they lasted for years in the same bottles you're using, so I'll bet yours will outlive, at the very least, me! 🤣🤣 Your filming and editing skills are **chef's kiss**, I'm just sayin'! I gotta tell ya, I'm not a flowery, ruffly girl, but you couldn't tell it by the journals I make! I love the paper you've used for your tag! When I staple things , it just doesn't look right to me, but you make it work every time! I think I prefer the cellophane tape over the medical tape, and of those, I really like the look of what was sorta mottled red and turquoise on the top of your waxed paper. Having said that, the medical tape you used on your tag looked like old masking tape and the cello tape you used did look like perfectly old tape! Nicely played, well executed! 🙌🙌 Greetings from the Midwest! Hugs, MK 🤗 ❤️ 🤗
MK we just became best friends 😅 👯♀️ auou made me literally laugh out loud! I don’t know if I’ll ever be that precise in pouring ever again! I was actually a tiny impressed that my mess was so minimal. I expected to be covered in ink!! 😅😅😅 You are too sweet! And I can never ever ever express how touching and loving your words are and how much they really mean to me. I thank you from my toes to the tippy top of my head! Ok now I want to know more about the acrylic paint alcohol inks….please tell me because that sounds like a project I want in on!! A turquoise color would be FABULOUS ✨✨✨ Thanks for the idea you beautiful soul! 🫶🏼💕💕💕
@karatootie Awww, sweetheart ❤️❤️ I'd be more than happy to give you my recipe for my alcohol and paint 'faux' ink, but there's really nuthin' to it except alcohol and cheap acrylic paint. It's been four-ish years since I mixed it up, but if I remember correctly, I used enough paint to turn the alcohol the same color - intensity-wise - as the paint, does that make sense? I think I even mixed up some opalescent paint, VERY cool! Easy peasy you GOT this!! 🤗🤗
I love Al John's channel ❤ Truly, this is the first video I've watched on aging tape, and making alcohol inks. Most all the other videos ive tried to watch, aren't easily explained so that a goober like myself can understand 😂❤
What papers did you use??? Those pinks are gorgeous! By the way, an easier way to do the tape is to colour it directly on and then mist gently with alcohol. It gives it a distress ink effect. 😊 Lovely project 😘
As in color it with the markers and then mist the alcohol?! What a genius idea! I’ll be honest about the papers, I cannot think where they’re from. I’ll have to do a little digging and I’ll let you know. They’re either from one of my kits on Etsy or one of my Patreon kits. I’m gonna have to ask around and get back to you! 🫶🏼💕
Ingrid! Your tag is gorgeous (no surprise)! I’d forgotten about the marker method of making ink. Question: was the medical tape you used the cloth kind, or the tissue-papery kind? I liked the aged effect on that tape. I also love the cellophane tape as well for this! Thanks again for your time, and sharing how you make your beautiful projects!🥰❤️😘
This was very interesting thank you😊❤you are so very clever would not have thought to put black and white checked ribbon on bow but its beautiful. I have the cloth type medical tape is that what you used?😊❤
Yes! I have the paper as well, which I’ll try next. I love me some black and white checks! They cheer everything up! 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤 thank you for your sweet words Suzy! 🫶🏼
Yes, not with this ink though. The old ones using alcohol inks (that I showed) were masking tape and you’re right they’re awesome! I also have some gummed tape that I wanna try it out on! Bring ALLL the tapes!! 😅😅😅 Thanks for your tip! I think aim going to play around with them today!! 🫶🏼💕
I do have one somewhere 😅 I started using my scissors to show that it would work in lieu of the tool and I just stuck with it…I’ll have to go on the hunt for it because you’re right…it’s a really great tool! I am not sure if the tape is acid free. I’m guessing not, but there are acid free options. It looks like Walmart may carry a Scotch brand acid free tape. Thanks for the tips!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼💕💕💕
I have I think 90% rubbing alcohol. Will it still work using that? I definitely want to go get some permanent markers and tape to do the same thing. I really like that you can make tape look vintage. Thank you for the great idea! Loved how the tag turned out ❤
Yes, as a matter of fact, it may work better since it’s more concentrated. I really hope you try it out and let me know 🫶🏼💕 Thank you for your sweet words of encouragement!! 🥰
It’s a mixed media book that I stick my ephemera in. I have a tutorial on my channel if you want to see it more in depth. 💕It should be linked in the description as well 💕
Ive been making my own alcohol inks with markers for years now... dying my papers, using stencils etc. very economical compared to the prices of the inks.
@@karatootie OHH, Fabulous!! So I use a flat bottom bucket from the dollar store... I can lay a sheet of paper flat... and I lay it in there.. and I lay the stencil over it... and I use the little spritz containers from the dollar store too... but the alcohol will eat the sprayers... they dont last long... and I do it out on my balcony, cause I use 90% iso . The drug store will give you a hard time buying it. LOL... they always do. Just tell them what youre doing with it. As I spray each one... I lay them out on the balcony to dry fast... dont do it in the house ... blow yourself up and get wasted off the fumes...lmao... at the end, the bucket has colored fluid all throughout it.. i take a couple sheets , crinkle them up a bit, and use them for mop up papers... so i have papers that match color wise, but have different effect... they turn out gorgeous, you will love this!! Just make sure the bucket is flat bottom... you end up with the edges a dark color.. oh, and for making it, dont worry about taking the insides of the markers apart, just take them out of the plastic container, and take the whole innard piece from the marker,, exactly like you did, use the pliers, hold it over the garbage can, just in case, and toss the whole thing into the iso into the sprayer, put it in first, and then put an ounce or two of the iso in and the longer it sits, the darker it gets... you will love this. Im sure of it... So If i didnt subscribe, I definitely will now. :))
If you search on RUclips you will find how to make DIY alcohol inks using used printer cartridges. I use the inks made this way all the time. There is actually quite a lot of color left inside those cartridges.
It does seem just like everything else, these companies are scrimping products. 😞 But I believe this will reactivate the ink. The key is to cut the cartridge open 💕

Do be cautious, though. The smell is stronger. It's best to work in a well-ventilated area. You can also dilute it a bit with distilled water.
