Darkroom Door Stamping on Acetate + Alcohol Inks - Bizzy Bec's DT post

Warning... lo-oong post, details plus photos, some "how NOT to do it",too!

 Hullo there everyone .. back again with another DT post for Bizzy Bec's. I am revisiting the Darkroom Door stamp set Sail Away (check out Bec's amazing prices) .. with acetate!

Here's a peek!

 I'm a great fan of Loll from "Stamping with Loll". Saw this post using acetate + alcohol inks.

And really wanted to do it with this gorgeous Darkroom Door Stamp set called Sail Away from Bizzy Bec's. 

Had an idea! just needed to get past the hiccups on the way. Tried it first as shown on video linked on Loll's post. However, a video can be a problem with the memory bank..  forgot step with brayer/ rubber roller. A mistake, inks didn't blend at all, were blobby.
I'm not sure why, but her inks on acetate spread lot more than mine. Decided to change colours too ..

  Saving acetate for another attempt, will use the base, see top left, for another card one day, have an idea for it.. waste not, want not..
 So tried it way Loll said she did it, except she stamped afterwards, I'm stamping before.

1. Using sailing ship stamp from Darkroom Door set, embossed two - one in gold, one black and two blank. (**on video the lady uses a dryer anti static cloth to prevent embossing powder go anywhere but on inked image, this is best too I found).
2. Then added the alcohol inks on the back of randomly, I also added Adirondack blending solution so my blobby inks would blend easier.

 Used Alcohol turquoise, Cobalt like blue, Silver and Pearl.
I also added two dye inks, SU purple and soft blue. I have mixed ink types before, usually work just fine. Have very few re-inkers of various types and often mix them.

I mixed them around with scrunched up plastic or cling wrap. 
Left once an interesting pattern and colour combo. Allowed to dry well.
Loll didn't do it with cling wrap, but I didn't want blobs from my blobby ink! 😊

3. Loll also used spray adhesive for attaching the crumpled tissue paper. I like my spray adhesive, so tried it, but mine was not a good hold on the acetate. 

 So tried the video technique of layering glue (mixed PVA and Tacky craft glue) on back of dried alcohol ink. 

4. Added the crumpled tissue over it all, then relaid the plastic wrap and ran my brayer over the top to make sure it really adhered well.

 Finally happy.

Persistence paid off in droves. Have three other bits to play with, two plain.
Had funny accident with black ship image, accidentally added inks to the side that was stamped and embossed. It took some of image off randomly and left some. I looked at it and thought it looks just like a ship in a fog. I could reuse it like that, or re-stamp it on top using a positioning acetate sheet as guide, or lay a verse greeting over that part.

Will do this technique, again. Now to my card, fairly simple actually.

 

Die cut the acetate image after backing it with card stock with Spellbinders Labels 25. Added a hand cut gold base to it.

Used two sheets of DP I bought on Thursday after my fourth specialist dentist appointments (big pennies there), spent few pennies at the only craft shop within coo-ee, ie about 30 mins north, round corner from dentist. 😊 

First Sun in Sept. is our Father's Day in Oz, so all this persistence was for my darling 88 y.o. dad. 

He's worth it .. and much more.

Used the Sizzix Lattice folder on base card. Gold embossed greeting is from very old set called SU Wonderful Woodcuts, only Father's stamp I own. Used top and bottom portion of greeting on stamp (there is an image in between), with Stamp-a-ma-jig to line it it up. Took a couple of goes.
Hessian or frayed burlap across the card, an anchor which was sitting on bookcase next to my cutting machine, for no reason!!
Someone had given them to me. Perfect eh?
God is very good.
So relieved this card finally turned out just as I'd hoped.
Hope you like it too and the step by steps may help someone out there.
