Hi there! It’s Cheiron Brandon and I am back with another fun tutorial using Tim Holtz Distress products. This month I am creating a fun card with Alcohol Inks, Embossing Folders and using a sanding disk on a blending tool to reveal the white core of the Yupo paper.
Step 1: Add Alcohol Ink blending solution to a piece of Yupo.
Step 2: Add Alcohol Inks in Lemonade (I always start with the yellow first), Gumball, Limeade and Laguna.
Step 3: Use the Alcohol Ink Blower to move the ink around. Add more blending solution if necessary.
Step 4: Move the ink around until your panel is completely covered. Let dry COMPLETELY!!!! Trim panel to card front size.
Step 5: Insert panel into your embossing folder. Make sure the panel is facing the correct way (the way that you want the raised area to come through) then emboss.
Step 6: Using a sanding disk on a blending tool, carefully sand the raised areas of your panel.
Step 7: Continue sanding until all of the raised areas are exposed showing the lighter core underneath.
Step 8: Die cut and assemble the greeting from Distress Black Heavystock and white cardstock.
Step 9: Die cut and assemble the florals from Distress Black Heavystock
Step 10: Arrange and adhere all the pieces to the card.
