Ranger Alcohol Inks & Kaszazz Foil...

 Hello,

Wow, the photos of these cards do not show the brightness of the colours of the alcohol inks or the foils!

I have used Yupo paper, dropping the alcohol ink colours onto the paper and before the ink is totally dry, press the foil paper onto the damp ink. The effect is amazing!

The alcohol ink colours I have used are: Ranger Products - Adirondack Brights in Watermelon, Sail Boat Blue and Citrus

The foil sheet I used is: Kaszazz Holographic Gold

Adding the card fronts to coloured card has really made them pop!

Have you tried using alcohol ink and Yupo paper yet?

Highly recommend! Add this to your list!
