Some experiments with CrafTangles alcohol ink papers by Neha Bhatt [Periwinkle Creations]

Hello Friends,

I am back with a review post. This time, it is Alcohol InkPaper by HDMD. It is a great alternate for YUPO. Like YUPO it is a synthetic
paper. Alcohol inks works best on nonporous surface. This paper is non-tearable
and nonporous which allows great movement of inks. It is thick and can take
hair dryer or heat gun very well. Compare to yupo it is 1/3 of the price. Isn’t
that great!

There are mainly pictures of the projects i made on this
paper. I will list color, brand and tips for each project below the picture.

These two are small approx 2.5 x 3.3 inches.

Colors  : Copic refills YG63 and G19

Gold  – Piñata gold
applied with thin brush.

Tips – Use hairdryer to get those lines. The paper is quite
thick and will take heat well without warping.

Same colors as above but I used this fan brush to create
texture on this one.

I have used Piñata gold along with the inks and isopropyl
alcohol.

I matted these three as they are a gift for a friend…:)!

Colors : Copic YG63, G19, Ranger- Sailboat blue,
piñata-passion purple.

I was going for an infinite ring look for this one but
because of humidity in the air, inks won’t co-operate. Yes, alcohol inks work
best in dry cool weather.

Check the close ups.

Tips : use blow dryer to move inks and thin straw for the
patches of texture.

Details…

Now is everybody’s favourite —floral!

Colors : For the background – Copic BG23, Ranger –Turquoise

               For
Flower – Ranger – Flamingo, Raspberry

               Steam –
Ranger citrus, copic G19

Tip – I use this tiny pallet of medicine strip. Details in
the stem is added with that micro brush. Petals are blown with thin straw.

Next one is created using HNDMD masking paper! I have tried
many different materials from washi tape to masking paper & tape with
alcohol inks but was never successful. Inks always bleed under the mask. But
this masking paper is a game changer… no bleeding under the edges. The
alcohol ink paper is easy to clean too. Few inks stain the paper but overall
you can clean splatters and booboos with a swab of isopropyl alcohol without
leaving any trace.

I die cut a butterfly from the masking paper and used the
negative to mask alcohol ink paper. Added inks, removed the mask and added few
splatters.

Colors – Ranger – Purple twilight & Cool Peri

There are many possibilities with masking. I will try to
explore more in my next post.

For this landscape I used Ranger – Turquoise for sky, Caramel,
silver metallic and pitch black and also Piñata – gold!

Last one uses only one color!

Color – Ranger Raspberry

Tip – Dilute ink with isopropyl before adding to the paper.
This will prevent staining of paper. Use hair dryer to blow the ink back and
forth to create crease lines. 

Highlights :

I hope you like the projects. Give these paper a try. I am
sure you will fall in love with it. Thank you for being here. Have a great day!
