How-to: Alcohol Ink Christmas Tree with Gold Foil
- First and foremost, this card requires using a heat tool on Yupo paper. You can definitely dry your alcohol ink on Yupo paper with a heat tool and create heat embossed images on Yupo Paper…BUT be very very careful when you do. Make sure the heat tool is super hot and keep it moving ALL the time. If you don’t keep it moving the paper will bubble and warp.
- I’ve watched several videos where gold foil was added to alcohol ink backgrounds where the ink was still a little sticky. But what if the background is too dry or no foil sticks where you want it? Deco Foil Transfer Adhesive!
- Squeeze out a little line of Deco Foil Transfer Adhesive onto a craft mat.
- Use a pallet knife to apply in small areas of the background. This will give a slight bit of texture too.
- Let the Deco Foil Transfer Adhesive dry completely. You’ll know it’s dry when it’s completely clear.
- Press the foil onto the areas where you’ve applied the adhesive and tada! You have a gold foiled Christmas Tree!
See how I used a different kind of adhesive to create a Christmas Wreath using Deco Foil.
