Phew what steaming weather we have enjoyed for the last few days here in the South. We're up to number 9 of Tim's 12 tags and I must confess that although very clever technique wise, it was not one of my favourite of Tim's projects. He shared this technique in Creative Chemistry 103 so I had seen it in the summer.
Here is Tim's tag.
Yet again I struggled to find suitable stamps in my stash. I also only have bright coloured alcohol inks so I decided to make a Christmas card. I need lots of stock for Dotty's as well as cards for my personal use this year. I went very off piste this month as I don't have many really solid stamps like Tim's man silhouette. I used my old trusty Visible Image Merry Christmas stamp as I thought it might work with this technique.
You will need to look at Tim's Blog
here for the step by step but below is my version of the alcohol ink resist on Yupo paper. After getting the resist I decided to add a border of inks to my sentiment. I wanted a more floral organic feel rather than Tim's very masculine one.
I made a distress paint patina background
and then added some more festive colours.
I then put everything together and below is my completed card.
I added a Cheery Lynn sleigh and holly sprig die cut and pink (yes very un me) holly berry gems and a little ribbon to finish everything off.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges.
