Hi Everyone. Prior to starting our Group of Seven Cardmakers blog, our group kept in touch during Covid and started trying out new and (revised) older techniques. We are including them as a reference for those that are interesting in trying them out.

August 2022
Supplies:
- Yupo
- Alcohol inks (AI's)
- Alcohol blending solution
- Vaseline (placed on a small tray or surface)
- Sponge
- Blowing tool (straw/air can/puffing tool)
- stamps of your choice
- Old rag to remove inks
- Latex gloves (optional but recommended)
Technique Instructions:
Following the video above ...
- Place some Vaseline on your small tray or surface and spread a thin even layer on the sponge then dab onto your stamp.
- Stamp using the image and you will see the imprint from the Vaseline. If you are creating a background with multiple stamped images add more Vaseline between stampings.
- Have your Alcohol inks, Blending solution and puffer near by. Drop the different colours of Alcohol inks on your Yupo, use your blending solution and puffer to help move the AI's over the Yupo.
- When you are happy with the design, use an old rag to remove the excess inks. The Vaseline creates a resist so that the alcohol inks don't penetrate, leaving the outline image white.
- Clean the Vaseline off the stamps using soapy water with a cloth or very soft brush.
Love these samples! Merry Christmas, everyone! xoxo
