It is no secret that you can create truly magical effects with
Ranger Tim Holtz Adirondack Alcohol Inks. Alcohol Inks are fast drying multi-surface dye inks that are available in 54 acid-free, fade resistant colors. Use the felt applicator tool to apply them to non-porous surfaces or drip color directly onto surfaces using the precision tip applicator bottle. Either way will result in vibrant color that is sure to add wow to your project!

Johnnie Lanier is a amazing DIY blogger that loves upclycling and reinventing old things into new. For this project she upcylced aluminum cans into leaf die cuts that she then colored with alcohol inks. Her tutorial shows you just how easy the project is! Find it on Johnnie's blog at:

Tammy Tutterow (that's me) shared another take on created fall leaves with aluminum cans in her tutorial on the Tim Holtz blog. I used mini leaves colored with alcohol inks to embellish a glass votive that she also inked. Find my full tutorial on Tim's blog at:

Melanie from Bliss Bloom shared two great Alcohol Ink tutorials on her blog. The first tutorial shows how to color glass bottles. These bottles would be great for holiday decorating (or any time of the year)! See the bottle tutorial at:

And because there are 54 colors of Alcohol Ink available, you are sure to find a shade that matches your holiday decor! Find the tutorial at:
