I couldn't wait for the next day's post to share some alcoholic excitement, so let's pretend it's tomorrow, ok? Which means there'll be no post on thursday feb. 5th 'cuz this is it, right? (other than this one, if you haven't seen it yet..) Nope, I'm not drunk, ROFL! but...
me thinks, for someone who doesn't drink, I sure likes me some alchomahol!...
(she said in an inebriated schlurrrr.)

ETA: IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE on misting alcohol inks. Mist without blending solution "While at the Ranger Booth at CHA, Tim Holtz said, "Please do not put the blending solution in the mini misters. There is a resin that when sprayed could get onto your eyes and stay there forever!!!" from this thread on SCS. Seems like something that should be printed on the bottle.
ETA: " Please Note: a couple of these links are for distress inks (water-based dye inks) since I find that on paper they can be used interchangeably with alcohol inks (alcohol-based dye inks). You can spritz alcohol inks & even mix them in a big bowl of water: dip paper! (See those tricks by Donna under the letters S & U.)
New to inks? Then the first basic thing you'll want to know is that alcohol inks specialize in non-porous surfaces (acrylic, glass, metal...), but can be used on paper too (especially glossy or metallic cardstock); while, distress inks are for porous surfaces. I say, if it's kickin' around, ink it! :O) Alcohol inks have a concentrated colour that is difficult to beat."
