More Inking…

Hi!

When I got back from Ranger U a few months ago, I spent the next weekend playing with the techniques… coming up with new stuff and learning more by playing.  All in preparation for the class I was hoping to teach with 2peas.  So glad it has started – such fun.

I thought I would go ahead and share a few of them…

This first one shows inking and flicking with water, as shown in the first Thinking Inking video HERE.  I also punched the butterflies from yummy Studio Calico paper and covered them with Glossy Accents.  Love that stuff.  This is pretty distress-y for me, but that was what made creating it fun.

Supplies: Hero Arts stamps (greeting, script), Studio Calico patterned paper, Paper Studio butterfly punch, Hero Arts pearls, Glossy Accents, Distress Inks

For this next one, I masked off a rectangle area in the center of a notecard.  I then inked it with Broken China Distress Ink (blue) and brushed with perfect Pearls.  So, you can't see it in the picture, but the blue is shiny/pearly.  So cool in real life.

Supplies: Hero Arts stamps (greeting, stem flourish) and flowers and gems and notecard :), Distress Inks

This is another one of my made-with-scraps cards.  That is one of my favorite things about the techniques done such as distress inking, water stamping, etc.  There are always delicious scraps leftover.  Always.  I save these in a basket and reach for them often.  These we leftover pieces of stamped Distress Ink images… I just punched hearts from them.  So easy and fast.

Well, I am off to hang with little Audrey.  I adore her.  She is such a good sister to her little brother who is never more than 2 steps behind her.  Bless her heart.

Night night.
