Ok any light weights out there? Feeling a little crafting fatigue? I have to say I was feeling it. That is until I saw the technique shared today over at the
Tim Holtz blog. I've never used alcohol inks before and am impressed by the quick drying and concentrated color! For my tag I found that when I inked the transparency with the ink and then used the Archival ink to remove the red color, I had a hard time getting a nice look. By accident I discovered if I used clear cling stamps with out ink and stamped on the transparency, the alcohol inks stuck to the cling stamp and just lifted off with no problems! What a happy mistake!!! You can see where I used the Archival ink stamp and removal technique on the tree. It looks a bit dingy because I couldn't get off all the black archival ink. For my wreath I just punched leaves from a Martha Stewart punch and adhered them to a circle chipboard. Don't forget to pop on by the TH blog and leave a comment each day, you just might win one of the daily prizes! Thank you for stopping by.
