Or instead of wasting all that blending solution,… You can just put a circle cut out in the middle of the flower. Then use a blending pen to pull the edges into the white section so that it isn’t a perfect circle. I have the Tim Holtz blending pen you can use for just the solution or you can add the alcohol inks in them… You can promote it that way to sell his pens and the solution and inks and all without wasting your money. Just a thought…
Have a blessed day!

LOVE it! I really like the idea of misting ink, and I think the look you achieve with the blending solution in the middle is genius!!

I had tried something like this before, unfortunately, the alcohol ink will DESTROY the little sprayer you have. The chemicals in the alcohol ink will actually “melt” part of the spraying component in your little misting bottle and render it useless in just a few days. I suppose if you rinse it out right away, you may be able to do this a few more times.

Hi Grace,
We haven’t had any issues with using the alcohol inks in the misting bottles. The thing I like about these tiny misting bottles is that they are perfect for doing just a few things, like the flowers. Then, you can rinse them out and start over perhaps with a different color. I guess because of their small size, we tend to use up the ink in the bottle right away and it doesn’t have the chance to sit.
