TIM HOLTZ, KEVIN AND CINDY

We spent a private day with just 18 of us and Tim Holtz

He is so AMAZING! 

We learned so much we will teach and share with you!

Alcohol Ink Resist on Metal with Tim Holtz Texture Fades

Products Used:

Tim Holtz Texture Fades Swirls

Craft Metal

Ink Applicator Tool

Alcohol Inks

Tim Holtz Tonic Scissors (LOVE THESE)

Ranger Heat It Embossing Gun

Ranger Archival Ink Jet Black

Emboss using Craft Metal in your desired Tim Holtz Texture Fades

I used Meadow & Purple Twilight Alcohol inks

Using the Alcohol Ink Applicator tool and a piece of felt

insert the nib of the alchol ink into the felt and squeeze different

colors on different areas of the felt.

Stamped well inked tool over your embossed metal surface.

You may add or layer additional colors or use lots and blow gently

for a mottled effect.  Use Heat it Tool to dry ink.

This is what it looks like with the two colors I used

The final step in Alcohol Resist is taking the

 Ranger Archival Ink in Jet Black swipe pad across the raised areas. 

This removes the alcohol ink and returns the raised parts to silver. 

NOTE:  This ONLY works with the Archival Ink.

 You may need to gently wipe the raised surfaces with a cloth.

The results are stunning and the colors are so bright!  I love

the New Texture Fades because they create a high detailed embossed

image into paper or metal.
