Love doing these with linseed oil .... great on on any papers and projects! 😊

I do that for many years. Also very nice when you make paper lanterns from ordinary paper an brush it with oil after assembling. Use an electric tea light and you have a great gift and beautiful decoration matching your colour scheme

TIP: if you want to get rid of excess oil, you can put it in between 2 pieces of kitchen towel paper and then run it through a big shot or any other embossing machine. :)

What a brilliant idea! Thanks so much. In the interests of experimentation, I've just done one print on 80gsm typing paper (the thin cheap stuff you get anywhere) and used baby oil. Worked like a charm, and not much greasy residue either. I have a dye based inkjet printer (HP) and it didn't affect the ink at all. The paper also feels lovely. I then tried another print with glycerine - which worked very differently - much harder to apply, I had to really work it in. It soaked through to the front of the paper as well, so when turned over I didn't need so much. However, although it brightened the colours, it also removed the black a bit, so the cotton wool was pretty dirty at the end although the print looked absolutely fine. There was a fair bit of residue grease as well (if I try this again I might try diluting it a bit) and the paper is very floppy. Although it might feel better when completely dry. So all-in-all, a succes. 10 out 10 for the baby oil, and probably a 6 out of 10 for the glycerine.

Thanks for showing this technique! Really great!

So is this card stock? Are you printing the images BEFORE the oil or AFTER? And didn’t you say in one of the comments to seal after complete drying to preview oily transfers to other items? Thank you so much! Excited to try this😊😊😊😊

Oh thank you for posting this video, was looking out for it. I got my cotton wool on the way home from work today, cant wait to have a go at the weekend . Once again thank you Aristi - Great technique!

This is fabulous, what a beautiful idea. TFS :) It also seems to brighten the ink colors.

Thank you so much 😊 that’s a brilliant technique...I really love 💕 it.....and I’m really inspired to have a go at this. xx Mags

That's super cool, Aristi! Thank you for sharing. Julie :)

Did you learn this from Chronic Crafter? I have seen her do this too. She brushed on vegetable oil then used heat tool to pull as much out as it would give up. Very cool technique and excellent tutorial for those who may not have those tools.

Hi Aristi. I've seen so many crafters use vellum paper but I've yet to find the printed sheets they have. This opens a new door for me. Thank you so much, Aristi. Love and Hugs, Theresa

I wonder if glycerin would make the same effect...also, the oil on newspaper is very cool, text on both sides but the paper turns very transparent. Thank you for sharing this video - I adore your papers!!! So cool!

Awesome!

I'm scent sensitive and I'm going to try food grade mineral oil which is baby oil without perfume. I'm sure it will perform the same. Thank you so much Aristi!

Take caution using linseed oil. It is highly combustible, even rags that have oil in them. Store in a closed metal container.

Τέλειο αποτέλεσμα... το ελαιόλαδο το κάνει πραγματικά τελείως διάφανο... θα το δοκιμάσω με λάδι καρύδας που το βρίσκω πιο εύκολα εδώ στην Αγγλία... βρήκα το κανάλι σου τυχαία και ανυπομονω να δω και αλλά βιντεάκια σου. Ευχαριστώ 😍💖😚👍φιλιά Μαίρη

Hi Aristi! I remember you were watching our favorite Pink 🐩 lady! I love this...I bet olive oil would work well for this,also.

beautiful x

Lovely! I will have to try this! Thank you for sharing! I'm subscribing to your channel to see what other marvels you have!

Thank you xx❤️

Great tip Aristi. tyfs xxxSonja

not transparent! It’s translucent! There’s a difference!

wHAT A GREAT IDEA. iT IS BEAUTIFUL. I LIKED AND SUBSCRIBED AND AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING MORE OF YOUR VIDEOS!

Will you be able to glue the envelope after?

These papers may look like vellum but they don't sound like vellum

I've seen this where you had to heat it up to draw out the excess oil. How oily is the paper after you finish? Does it leave a mark on another paper when you lay them together? Thank you ever so much for sharing!! Great tutorial and explanation about the oils and smells.

An odor free alternative is mineral oil.

Oh this is cool Aristi! And I have a question... about your paper shape. The journal you sent me is the same way and I was wondering.... the inside corners are round, do you know what I mean? at the fold, how are you doing that please?

I tried this and regardless what I do, placing between paper towel for weeks or ironing the paper, it still leaks oil. What am I missing? I did not initially coat the paper liberally. I was careful how much baby oil I used.

I wonder about the long term effects these papers will eventually have upon other papers in a project. The paper remains oil infused no matter how much you work to remove the excess oil, right? If you bind it in a book or include it in a paper project, won’t the adjacent papers eventually absorb some of the oil? Also, oil is a food substance. Might not these papers also attract bugs, over and above the natural bug attraction of cellulose? Having expressed these concerns, I have to say the affect is indeed lovely. I may have to try this technique anyway.

Love this tutorial.... I'm wondering u said to dry over night between 2 pages of paper... instead of that could I dry with a hair dryer or heat gun or even in the over?
