You can also check out many tutorials on Pinterest and YouTube to get those creative juices flowing. Try out these methods:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1. \u003cstrong\u003eLayering\u003c\/strong\u003e - This is the simplest ink technique. Wet the surface with blending solution and drop some different colour alcohol inks onto it. They'll react like watercolour and bleed into each other, creating an ombre look. Go in with sponges, paintbrushes or felt stamps and blend further. You can then add detail with pens and markers or take it further by adding acrylic paint, oils or any other medium.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2. \u003cstrong\u003eBlown Flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e - Use a blower, such as a hairdryer set to cold or even a straw, to blow the paint in different directions. Drop ink onto yupo paper and blow it in one direction, repeating the process with other colours to create abstract flowers.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/riotwholesale.myshopify.com\/collections\/stencils\" title=\"Stencils \"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStencils\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/a\u003e- Make a card for someone special by using a stencil to create images and complex designs. Lay the stencil onto the surface and use a sponge or felt stamp to press ink onto it. You don't need blending solution as you don't want them too thin in case they run beneath the stencil.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePainting With Alcohol Inks On Yupo Paper\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYupo paper, or any other synthetic paper, is the preferred surface for using alcohol inks. This is because it's non-absorbent which means the ink won't sink in and is free to flow and blend as needed. You can experiment with different applicator tools, such as droppers and sponges, to create texture and interesting patterns.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also use other non-porous, water-resistant paper to give your alcohol ink a smooth, durable surface to run. Our Tim Holtz cardstock is perfect for creating textured works of art in a range of fun backgrounds.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePainting With Alcohol Inks On Ceramic Tile\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCeramic is another excellent surface for painting with alcohol inks. Ceramic items, such as tiles and vases, are good for painting unusual abstract designs on that are vivid and colourful. Revamp a plain ceramic vase and add a bright splash to your home or turn some ceramic tiles into coasters for your coffee table. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePainting With Alcohol Inks On Glass\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlass is a great surface for using with alcohol inks as it's hard and smooth so the paints can flow easily and quickly. When run together on glass, different coloured inks take on a marbled galaxy effect that looks similar to stained glass. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFire can be used to seal the inks before they dry. This burns off the alcohol and make the dyes stable so you can create glass panels, mugs and candle holders that will allow light to shine through brilliantly. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAlcohol Ink Set\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur alcohol sets by The Paper Mill are the best and most cost-effective way to get into alcohol ink painting.
