This class is all about alcohol inks on black gloss card. It's surprising what can happen when you lay down some alcohol ink colours onto black gloss card, then use Snowcap Mixative (the white alcohol ink) over the top. Even just the Snowcap by itself is awesome, as shown in the first sample atc, Hum of bees. You do need to dilute the white in a smaller bottle with about 30-40% ratio of Snowcap to alcohol. That's approx 60% Snowcap, 40% alcohol. The alcohol is either 91% of 99% alcohol, not rubbing alcohol that comes from the chemist and the supermarket as that is only about 64% alcohol. The higher grade comes from electronic stores or even Bunnings here in Australia has it! I do seal these and you have to expect some distortion when you spray a sealer over it, how much depends on which sealer you use. I use a gloss varnish and do a light coat. Love alcohol inks and LOVE black gloss card!
