Has anyone here used the alcohol inks? I saw a journal yesterday at the crop someone had brought from a class they did at a LSS. They had covered it with aluminum tape they picked up at Wal-Mart. Then used small squares of the tape where they had etched designes on the tape from the back to give a raised effect - they did some freehand and some with templates with a stylus. These squares the taped randomly all over the journal. Then they used the alcohol ink to sort of stain the whole thing. The effect of the aluminum tape was beautiful - theirs was in red. I want to try this, but wonder exactly how to use the ink. Does it just rub-on like stain? Or is it painted on like paint with a brush? I never got the chance to ask more about it yesterday as I was teaching a class on sewing on LO's with my sewing machine I lugged to the crop. Help? Suggestions? Tips? Sandy
