Express Lane Video: Alcohol Inks

Here’s another installment in our Express Lane video series. Today’s video shares two ways of using Adirondack Alcohol Inks by Ranger to create custom background papers.

Alcohol inks are specially formulated to work on slick surfaces such as glass, metal, acrylic and tile.

Today’s card uses glossy white cardstock.

Here are the supplies used to make this card:

American Crafts cardstock: Black

Ranger Alcohol Inks/Metallic Mixatives and Blending Solution

Ranger Alcohol Ink Applicator and Felt Pads

Basic Grey Fish stamps

QuicKutz Dragonfly alphabet

Kaisercraft rhinestones

Colorbox Fluid Chalk Ink: Charcoal

Tim Holtz Distress Ink: Black Soot

Xyron 150 “X” applicator

Ranger glossy cardstock

Ranger Non-Stick Craft Sheet

Mark Richards Crystal Stickers

UPDATE: We have received word that Tim Holtz is recommending that Alcohol Ink Blending Solution not be used in the Mini Mister spray bottles. Until further notice from Ranger, please avoid using these products together. It’s better to be safe than sorry! You may use alcohol inks in the Mini Mister to add droplets of color to your glossy backgrounds.
