Alcohol Ink Stickers
by Debra
The stickers were a little less tacky when I was done, but appeared to stick just fine. I tested my colors on a "q" from the sticker sheet just to make sure they wouldn't turn out icky. Some of the stickers were originally pink and some were white, so I didn't want to end up with a muddy mess.
I think this would work with any sticker. I did try doing it to some of the CS stickers from the Farmer's Market kit, but the colors were darker than the letters and didn't go so well.
Other things that work to recolor stickers in really cool ways are glaze pens, which can also dry on glossy surfaces.
- Find some laminated cardstock or something that the stickers won't stick to permanently. I used cardstock scraps that had been through my Xyron 900 - nothing sticks to that laminate.
- Alcohol ink the stickers just like for glossy cardstock backgrounds. I had some felt on a wood block with velcro - a few drops of each color and just dab around till you like them.
