Today’s tutorial is short, sweet and oh so fun! It’s another of my favorite Copic Ink techniques.
You will need to gather the following supplies:
- glossy cardstock or photo paper
- Copic re-inkers
- Purell or any hand sanitizer gel
- found objects
- craft mat
NOTE: You can use any paper for this technique with varying results, all of them beautiful. Try standard cardstock or even vellum for new looks.
Step #1 – Drip Copic ink onto your paper. I used 3 different colors this time–all in the cool range for a watery look.
Step #2 – Put a small pile of hand sanitizer on your craft mat. Dip a found object in the hand sanitizer. I have gone big and located a toilet paper roll for my shape.
Step #3 – Stamp your found objects into the Copic ink. The alcohol in the hand sanitizer pushes the ink and leaves the stamped area white. I used a toilet paper roll, cork and lid to create my finished look.
Step #4 – Get creative and use your really cool new paper for an amazing project!
Yep it is really that easy and fun…I am off to try the same technique on some other papers!
