Not too sure?!?

I'd really appreciate your comments on this one as I'm not sure whether I like it or not. I used a Stampbord ATC as my base which I coloured with alcohol inks, I used stream, red pepper and either raisin or cranberry, I can remember which! I then used another of my new Tim Holtz collage stamps which I stamped in blue Stazon ink, I then clear embossed the entire ATC a few times. I'm definately in two minds about this one.

Sunday Stampers Challenge-Week 11

This weeks theme for the Sunday Stampers challenge is A Ticket to Ride, so basically any form of transport. So I merrily got out my new Tim Holtz collage stamps and set to work. I used a Stampbord ATC which i coloured with alcohol inks, I used pitch black, slate and mushroom with a touch of pearl mixative but as you see the finished result went a bit green! I stamped my image with a black Stazon pad and then inked the entire ATC up with Versamark ink and added a few layers of clear embossing powder, I then edged with a silver Krylon pen. It's totally different to what I usually do but I don't think it's turned out too badly.

Hey Mona!

Well I've impressed myself with this one, I think it's definately one of my better attempts at an inky project. This is for this weeks Sunday Stamper challenge, the theme is green. I inked a plain white card with Adirondack ink pads in lettuce and meadow and smudged the colours in with a baby wipe. I the used a green Versafine inkpad to stamp Mona and the creativity saying. I then cut a piece of acetate to fit the front of the card and coloured it with alcohol inks in meadow, lettuce, oregano and a touch of silver. I used the green Versafine pad to add my final Tim Holtz stamp onto the acetate and clear embossed the image. I attached the acetate with two green brads. I really like the effect.

Ladette To Lady

I joined in The Sunday Stampers challenge for the first time today, the theme is Laydees so I decided to use my new lady stamps and went all out and dug out my Stampbord ATCs. The ladette ATC I wanted to look a bit rough around the edges unfortunately it was a bit rougher than I intended. The background is a little too dark and I think I singed my embossing powder!! However I'm really pleased with my Lady ATC it's much softer. On both ATCs I used Gold mixative and Caramel, Ginger and Latte alcohol inks to colour the stampbord and edged them with a Pale Gold Krylon pen. I stamped the Rubber Stampede images with a Vintage Sepia Versafine inkpad and clear embossed, they both had Dymo words added and the Lady ATC was finished off with a red Sakura Glaze pen. I loved this challenge and hope to join in more in the future.

Walk like an Egyptian

I have recently discovered the wonders of Egypt and Tim Holtz's alcohol inks so I thought I'd try them both together. I made this fat book page using Adirondack ink dabbers on the background and added an Egyptian stamped image on alcohol inked gloss paper. For once I was quite impressed with my own efforts!!
