Hi Everybody,
This is the first time I have tried YUPO Paper and what a strange material it is.
It is called paper but it doesn't go soggy, or tear, warp, split or pill no matter what you do to it and it is a fun product to play with
You can die cut it easily which means you can create stencils form your own dies
For this card I have used Alcohol Inks and Gilding Flakes along with some gold card for the sentiment.
I allowed the inks to flow wherever they wanted to on the Yupo paper, and it dries very quickly. I cut around the edge to leave an uneven shape
On another part of the design I have hand drawn some flowers and then cut around them. I tried to add some gold gilding flakes around this edge with a glue pen but it came out very patchy.
So I will have to try that part again to see what I did wrong
I backed the centre flowers onto some gold card, leaving a narrow border around the edge and then added this with foam tape underneath to raise it up from the main card.
The tiny hearts and the Best Wishes are cut from the same gold card.
The background is done with an embossing folder and the single flower at the top is added with glue.
I quite like the effect though and once I have practised a little bit more with the technique I will video it to show you what I have done
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
I have tried the Yupo paper and it is great as you say, quite intriguing how the ink moves around and makes so many beautiful patterns esp when using blending solution as well....also used the ink off ink pad and that too worked a dream, some lovely ideas with Yupo and alcohol inks....will keep watching your ideas Christina....beautiful card you made here using the technique...thank you...luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteHello Christina,
ReplyDeleteThis is really interesting as I bought some Yupo paper about a year ago and have never used it!!! When I find it among all the other paper and card, I'll keep it to hand until you post your video. Keep up the good work.
