Yesterday, I decided to have a 'play day'. I was cruising the Joggles site, shopping with a birthday gc, and found a video that I'd never seen. The circle was made by squirting some alcohol Lift Ink onto the gel plate, brayering it on, adding a light color alcohol ink to that and brayer it to mix it with the Lift Ink, then add your colors of ai, two or three at the most. You can either print immediately or let it sit for a few minutes. If you let it sit, you will see more blooming and ruffly edges. I also found that if you let it sit too long, you'll get some open white spots, so I'm assuming the Lift Ink does that. I really liked my results.
