Stamp + archival ink + transparency; flip over; alcohol ink + palette + water-brush filled with blending solution. Really nice stained-glass look.

A couple of well-researched recipes for do-it-yourself alcohol-ink blending solution. Now I understand why the usual DIY recipe uses glycerine... and is completely wrong.

Rusty texture technique ("DIY Rust Paste"); this is a technique for making an embossed or bas-relief surface look like it is all rusty and neglected. It is a multi-layer technique, not just a single application of a paste to make things look rusty. It requires dark brown (Burnt Umber) paint and rusty-brown (Burnt Sienna) paint for the under-layers; these have a texture powder added to the paint to give it... texture! If you can't get the grit powder, cinnamon will do (it's bark, it isn't going to dissolve or go rotten). Other paints are then added in more layers to get a metallic and patina look.

This is the easiest and fastest photo transfer paper the artis has used! The shiny side of mailing labels, with Liquitex Gel Medium. When the gel medium is allowed to dry completely, this paper will provide a VERY clean transfer. In addition, the artist had no printer jam problems, as can sometimes happen with thin photo transfer paper.

This show creating dry embossing AND heat embossing with a wafer thin die in an embossing machine.

Faux leather using cardboard (approx 300gsm), water, glycerine, embossing folders, inks, and sealer. (and cloth and glue, but that's in the next video). Really impressive.

This demo shows how to use good old kitchen foil/tin foil/aluminum foil to make an embossed background for your cardmaking, paper crafts & scrapbooking. It also shows how to use Gold foil to make the same embossed background and how to take the carrier sheet off the top of the foil.
