Three Birds

These cards were really fun to make. I first stamped the bird image (Martha Stewart Crafts at Michael's) and then painted them with different colors of Twinkling H2O paints. I then stamped the bird again on a scrap piece of cardstock and used it as a mask so I could stamp the words over the top. Fun, easy, and addictive- plan to make similar cards like this with some other stamps I have. I'll let you know how it goes.

More fun with Alcohol inks!

Here are two more ATC's I made using alcohol inks and rubber stamps. I love the colors you can get from even a limited palette of inks.

Well, I'm off now to start work on some creepy themed art for Halloween, my favorite holiday!

Happy crafting,

Finally, some new ATC's!

So, last week I went to The Artist's Oasis where I attend ATC club meetings and get cool supplies. I picked up some alcohol inks and blending solution (both Adirondack brand) and started experimenting. I didn't have any glossy cardstock so I used some 4x6 glossy photo paper. I used the Pesto and the Espresso that came in the kit to get the backgrounds for these. After that it was just a matter of printing the images on the photo paper, cutting them to size and distressing the edges (Ranger Distress Ink). I plan to do a bunch more of these because I love they way they came out. There's also a Raisin color that came in the kit. I'll let you know how it goes.
