Revisiting on Monday - June 2009

Hello! Yesterday I clicked on the wrong link and got a virus which took DH the whole evening to get rid of! But he did it!


Today I'm going back to the first card (see below) I made using alcohol inks and embossing. Due to the fact that the project went wrong, I put my punch into it and loved the result it gave! Ever since, I love experimenting with this technique when I get a new stamp. The above card uses three stamps of Hero Arts, mixed together after punching out the squares.



This is the stamp I used for the above card, which was stamped twice on an alcohol ink background, once with white EP and once with brass EP, and then just mixed together with the 3/4" square punch.
 I also punched out a couple of circles and a butterfly.

  15. What beautiful cards. The quality of work is amazing.
    I have to say that some of the mistakes I have made when crafting have turned out to be some of my best pieces.

  20. Truly beautiful cards. Just to be sure; you made the background with several alcohol inks in the same hue and then stamped and punched out the squares. I must try this soon.
