One of my 43 Yahoo Groups (not all active, of course! LOL!!!) had a Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink Splatter Technique Mingle . . . Please click on the blue underlined title to link to video . . .
I used a cocktail stirrer instead of a can of compressed air to "blow" the ink around . . . the ink I used was Pinata Alcohol Ink from USArtQuest . . . the "cloud" stamp is from A Stamp in the Hand . . . the "butterfly and flourish stamps" are from a $9.99 inexpensive set of 5 clear stamp sets I bought at Costco that were made by Inkadinkado . . . the bird stamp is from Impression Obsession . . . the adorable birdhouse die cut is from Printworks Collection . . . I seem to be obsessed with bird houses and birds lately . . . hmmmmmmmm . . . LOL!!!!!!
Have fun!!!!!!
Last Friday . . . dh#2 was away for most of the day . . . so I was able to invite some of the retired teachers/stamping buddies over to play . . . I served my FAMOUS Costco pizza and Bag 'O Salad (salad that comes in a bag!!! LOL!!!!)!We played for 6 - 11 hours . . . I decided to experiment with some techniques I found in Chris Cozen's ALTERED SURFACES, her new AWESOME book . . . but as I was telling Lisa Gifford, an internet stamping buddy who owns STEP OUTSIDE YOUR BOX SATURDAYS, an internet mixed media challenge group . . . I was too CHICKEN to use my expensive paints so I used Liquitex BASICS to start off my experiments with . . . I used modeling paste . . . stencils . . . string gel (also known as tar gel) . . . splattered paint with a silicon basting brush I bought 2 for a dollar at the dollar store . . . scraped paint with an old credit card thingy (Traci Bautista technique) . . .
