This technique works on a number of different surfaces. The steps are the same no mater what you're working on. In these step outs we'll be showing the technique on polymer clay so that is what's pictured (substitute surfaces at will).<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyIy9qyI7hWZWDeP-2NVxcGsXGl8slePPDwax6JbTtdTT-MuhxtiWoq2shiZWrG_FJ-M-_3jnRBXNPqnmi_RdRxoQJFmV_1XKkQvQtJTb9d2mH1UaJ1M9v7yZ6FpPHmlnkcbYnBO5omw/s1600-h/Painting_With_Art_Masking+_Fluid.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 302px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyIy9qyI7hWZWDeP-2NVxcGsXGl8slePPDwax6JbTtdTT-MuhxtiWoq2shiZWrG_FJ-M-_3jnRBXNPqnmi_RdRxoQJFmV_1XKkQvQtJTb9d2mH1UaJ1M9v7yZ6FpPHmlnkcbYnBO5omw/s400/Painting_With_Art_Masking+_Fluid.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386224806688163410" border="0" /></a>Shake bottle of Art Masking Fluid(AMF), and let it sit for a minute or two. Paint flower dots onto conditioned polymer clay. Let dry completely. Remove fluid from brush immediately after use(the instructions on the bottle say to use soapy water, but, I get much better results using a baby wipe.) Use a cheap brush, if the AMF dries in the brush it is not easy to get out and might ruin the brush.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC-dh7Scae5al6frKi6IY3QwuMMMqCibo1lCBO3JcIXV4ML_mBTUnmwnR9roool52KJpddoeUVnm6u8EaZUjYfNQI0KR2hZRQH07KErUgpj91u-tRJKIsOXqDHjgnhqyBiAHurC4GKVg/s1600-h/Add_Alchohol_Ink.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 343px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC-dh7Scae5al6frKi6IY3QwuMMMqCibo1lCBO3JcIXV4ML_mBTUnmwnR9roool52KJpddoeUVnm6u8EaZUjYfNQI0KR2hZRQH07KErUgpj91u-tRJKIsOXqDHjgnhqyBiAHurC4GKVg/s400/Add_Alchohol_Ink.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386224684127068546" border="0" /></a>Apply Alcohol Ink to the clay using one or many colors, use a cosmetic sponge to GENTLY tap over the surface and even out the color.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho9I035YjEd1SoMfIh_0IWoY0uCCG5-1mbBWveah6TfAGRV1tmciWa_yRJSkpiHhw4Svl_9e1sUkZy8-5urlbFlZdP1qv2yVXDo3QuZ5BMb-ZA9mHZGuR1gQ4C1RrRF1L7tSBalaeo-A/s1600-h/Alcohol_Ink_Drying.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho9I035YjEd1SoMfIh_0IWoY0uCCG5-1mbBWveah6TfAGRV1tmciWa_yRJSkpiHhw4Svl_9e1sUkZy8-5urlbFlZdP1qv2yVXDo3QuZ5BMb-ZA9mHZGuR1gQ4C1RrRF1L7tSBalaeo-A/s400/Alcohol_Ink_Drying.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386224608118131458" border="0" /></a>Let the piece dry thoroughly!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgulr_JuuYpa-b_N_D9xB5Pfbjpc1Gy5vbHU-vovUlHXimpGScCtcW9d84cO0hy9QZ_Wr5OnagRv9MbRkn4ev9ECrlrhbhzA2Lc3S-TdPz_stj7A7yOgElYqGcT_Y80sviGpXY8NPaCJg/s1600-h/Alcohol_Ink_+on+Polymer_Clay_Resist_Technique.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgulr_JuuYpa-b_N_D9xB5Pfbjpc1Gy5vbHU-vovUlHXimpGScCtcW9d84cO0hy9QZ_Wr5OnagRv9MbRkn4ev9ECrlrhbhzA2Lc3S-TdPz_stj7A7yOgElYqGcT_Y80sviGpXY8NPaCJg/s400/Alcohol_Ink_+on+Polymer_Clay_Resist_Technique.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386224540968275362" border="0" /></a>Gently rub the AMF from the clay.
