Great card!
Great card! I was intrigued by your video and if I have a gel press I don’t mind getting stained, this would be great! Thanks for the inspiration.
wonderful card using alcohol ink on regular paper.
Love the creativity and the fact you used regular cardstock. Pretty stamp set too. Thanks for the inspiration.
Lovely card, Amber, The black really makes the colours pop. Love it. So inspirational. Thank you for sharing.
I love this!!!! The inks look fantastic applied this way!!!
Nice card, you’re right black was better than pink! You showed us something different using the alcohol inks and paint!!
Great news … I love using the inks and now when my Yupo runs low, I can still do this technique. TFS
I did not know that!! Going to watch the video now 💕💕
You are amazing. I am fascinated with the whole thing, dictionary paper, white acrylic paint over the alcohol ink, and the black lotus. It is gorgeous, and I am going to try one with my gel plate today! Thanks so much for sharing this, as it seems we can learn something every single day!!!!
Beautiful card, Amber! Thanks for sharing your lovely art!!
Thank you for sharing your talent.
So pretty.
love your hints for using alcohol inks with normal cardstock – I will have to give it a try.
Oh boy, I am so glad I am sticking with this blog hop. I am a recent user of alcohol inks and did not know I could use alcohol inks on a gel plate. I love my gel plate and now want to try this technique. Thanks for showing us the process.
I absolutely loved your video and the process you took to make the card. A more unique take on crafting and still a little old school paper crafting as well.
This is so interesting and inspires me to give this a try on my jelly plate.
Thanks for the ideas. I haver never tried that on the gel plate…cool idea!
Love your style… clever use of products.
I’m just starting to use alcohol inks, and i love the effect you achieved. I also loved the use of the dictionary pages–this is something so easy, and no stamp required. Love it!
Love your artsy sample, Amber!
Great! Finally see one on white cardstock! Been wondering is it a must to use special paper (Yupo?) thanks!
Thanks for showing this simple way to use alcohol inks on a gel press…I definitely want to try this. Your card is beautiful!
Nice Card. Thanks.
I didn`t know that we can use alcohol inks on the photo paper. Thank you for that tip.
Your card looks gorgeous, I love the black on blue combination.
I was amazed at your process and the results are terrific!
I love the black layered lotus over book paper. A great way to use the layered stamps.
Wow! Love this card. And thanks for the great video!
Great look! Love the way this card turned out!! A must try!! Thanks!
I did not know that alcohol inks could be used on plain cardstock. I really liked how the blues, greens & white looked like water on this card. Beautiful!
Thank you for showing the gel plate technique. Very nice look for cardstock.
Thanks for sharing your lovely card! I love the idea of using ordinary card stock.
Great card. Love the layers.
What a pretty card! I love the dictionary paper!
Excellent example of thinking outside the box and I love it!
Love thinking outside the box!
Great idea to stamp on the dictionary paper for your flower. I’ve never tried alcohol inks with a hell plate , so thanks for the idea!
Hi! What a fantastic card, made with so few supplies! I love that you went a different way by using the gel plate and added acrylic paint! It gave such a different look. Loved it! The black lotus really is so dramatic! That sentiment is wonderful! Thank you so much!
Amber…I love your affect using regular cardstock instead of Yupo paper..very artsy…Thank you for sharing your beautiful card. Hugs…
Very pretty card!
Beautiful card!
What a cool design and alcohol inks!
Thanks for the video. Loved watching it. Your card is beautiful.
Gorgeous card! Love the colors and design.
Thanks for sharing.
How pretty and different. This was a great video. Am wanting to try your technique now. Thank you so much.
Loved this idea – thanks for the inspiration.
Alcohol ink on regular card gives a subtle look and is equally as beautiful. TFS your inspiration.
Your card turned out beautiful! One of the reasons I haven’t invested in alcohol inks is the price of Yupo paper. I may have to get some now!
The drippy marbly look is cool. I like it with the black, too.
Beautiful card and I must try this technique! Thanks for the tutorial.
Great job. I am loving this technique and need to give it a try… tyfs 🙂
I always love your work Amber.
Super cool technique, and a stunning card! Thanks for the inspiration.
Amber I really need to reintroduce myself to my gel plate! Maybe I’ll have better results with these alcohol inks?
LOve the dictionary page for your lotus – authenitique-ally YOU!
