Have you ever tried alcohol inks with Foil?? Today I thought I would give it a try, and you can let me know how you think it worked out?
But first did you know that this is part of a new release at Altenew! And we are hopping along to celebrate so you should have arrived here from REIKO’s brilliant Blog!
These cards were so simple to create, I started with a fun one created with the All Things Sweet Set.
I added a fabulous Splatter Hot Foil Plate background.
And a sentiment from an older set called Way Too Sweet.
Next I had some fun with this huge hot foil die called Eucalyptus Wreath.
I used a Yupo style paper so I thought it would be great to add colour with Alcohol Ink Refills. It did lift the foil just a little, but it didn’t lose it’s shine.
This time I added the Fancy Hello sentiment and some Antique Gold Sequins. I’m going to have to work a little more on this technique and see if I can improve on it… what do you think?

What do I think? I think I love your Eucalyptus wreath! and I’ve never met a cupcake I didn’t love!
=]
I think every time I see your work it just gets more beautiful.
You are so sweet, thank you Claudia!
Great cards! I love the foiled splatter on the cupcake card!
love the arty feel of your cards – very inspiring
So pretty. Thanks for the inspiration.
Great foiling. The alcohol ink on yupo with the foil is interesting. You could paint the ink on as well. Didnβt the ink colour the foil?
The ink seemed okay with the foil, but I think it was the blending solution that lifted some of foil colour, but the shine was still there…. so I will have to experiment a little more…. I sound like you lol.
Lovely cards Therese. Love the CAS designs.
Great cards. Love the splatter for the cupcakes.
The Cupcake card is so appealing it makes me hungry.
Wonderful cards Therese! Love these yummy cupcakes and the foiled eucalypt leaves look amazing. Love the look of the alcohol inks. You certainly couldn’t tell any of the foiling was effeted from the photo!! A favourite for sure!!! Love to see more!!Thanks so much for the great inspiration!! Stay safe and have a wonderful Christmas! π
The shine of the foil with the alcohol ink is glorious, Therese, and those cupcakes look scrumptious.
Great cards! The second one is my favorite. Nice to know we can use alcohol inks with foiling. I would have thought the inks would color the foil. Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful inspiration with alcohol inks!
Darling cards. I really like the cupcakes card.
Great CAS designs and I LOVE the cupcakes!

Love these cards. The sentiment on the first one is wonderful — I could surely use “a day sprinkled with fun!”
