Playing with alcohol inks

Just playing with some alcohol inks, spurred on by Tim Holtz's creative chemistry #103....

So I've splodged, sponged, blended, embossed, inked and got my hands dirty!!

Hope your having a good day!

2016 - a time for change

Hi Ya All,

So you might have noticed, that I've stepped down from the DT team over at Bizzy Bec's.

I'd like to thank all the DT girls and Bec for being such a wonderful

team and very supportive..

Now that the christmas frenzy and afterwards is over.. 

I finally have some free time!

My Daughter has gone back to Perth and whilst she was in Europe, we were babysitting her furbaby..

between that and getting her PL album started and almost finished.. 

was a task I didnt think I'd get through.

Well, I was going to post a pic, but blogger doesn't seem to want to upload in the correct orientation.. oh dear...

!

So enrolling in OCC - Watercolour intermediate here

I've just been having a play with my watercolour paints, getting some inspiration 

and a gentle boot up the jaxy... to get crafting

Here is my first go, but then I didn't like how the Canson paper (on the right) was 

reacting with the colours and water,

 so tried Arches paper (left) and got a completely different effect 

and it was drying more evenly and even now, the Canson paper is still pooling water and paint..

So here are my pears ;)

Hope your crafting in this horrid weather here in Victoria

Hugs all round

Sal

Bizzy Bec's December Challenge - anything goes

Hi all,

Sorry about the long time between drinks (aka posts), but you might have read below, its been 

a bit hectic at our place, with a funeral and some other family stuff happening. Not to mention

the radiator in the car died yesterday.. sigh sigh.. (yes 3 weeks before christmas)

so any ways onto the more important task of showing you my creation 

for Decembers Challenge..

I've used Lawn Fawns- trim the tree stamp set.. 

Bizzy Bec's store link is here

 

So i coloured the tree with my copics

and the die cut the ornaments out with the die set that matches the stamp set.

Now I did CASe this card from the lawn fawn blog - here

but made a few changes... 

The one lesson I learnt today is:

never try to dry some gold colour shine with your heat gun,

as your copics will run.. as you can see

by the right hand santa stocking.. :(

never mind.. who's gonna look that close - right???

well you have a lovely crafty day and

only 21 SLEEPS til

the ol man in the red suit arrives

Sorry I've been absent...

I just thought I'd let everyone know, we lost a very dear Uncle last week...

There is only two left in my dad's family now.. terribly sad, but thats life isnt it..

I organised and travelled down with my mum and dad to say 

farewell and 'tight lines' to a good man.

These two are the youngest of 8 and the only ones left now

some crazy cousins that are having some light hearted laughs
