Oh who am I kidding, I can't resist alcohol period! LOL! Wow, it’s week #24 at Studio L3’s Compendium of CuriositiesVol. 2 challenge!! And this week Linda has challenged us with page #59 of Tim’s
fabulous book, Alcohol Ink Resist. And
as I’m working on cards for a holiday craft fair, I worked on a Christmas
theme, which also fits into the Creative Chemistry 101 Facebook Challenge for
October, which was using any of Tim’s techniques with a holiday theme.
I used re-purposed packaging for my base, and while I can’t
mention any specifics in fairness to Tim, I can pass on an important tip…when
working with the plastic packaging, beware pet hair!!! I almost had my own felts to use with the
alcohol inks!! I used the Tim’s baroque
sizzix die, and colored the chickadee with Distress Markers. (and note to self…cut the paper first!) The
stamp is from Impression Obsession, as is the stamp I used on the resist
technique which is one of the Cover-a-card stamps. As I didn’t want the overlay to be too dark,
my resist is very subtle, but overall I kinda like it. Not sure about the back card color, but I
think this will be a design for this year as well.
So jump over to Linda’s to see what others have done with
this fun technique. And don’t forget to check out Friday when a new challenge
will be issued!
oh i love this to bits,so so effective brilliant hugs Cherylxxx
ReplyDeleteWow Kim this is gorgeous, I love the stamp you have chosen for the resist, and the bird is perfect. I SO know what you mean about pet hairs, it's not unusual to have a fur ball in my embossing powder lol x
