Angels Landing "For a special Friend" (Alcohol Inks and Opalite)!

Todays post is for Angels Landing.com, our challenge for today was NO WHITE!!!lol I love this!! Of course we always seem to use white, so this was nice!!! :) Thank you Judi!!! This is another notebook, and of course by now you know I love making them!!Right???? :) LOL
Also for today Im sharing another alcohol ink technique on this darling bear from Angels Landing!



First I picked my colors:

• Distress Ink (Fire Brick Red) (Peeled Paint) (Mustard Seed)
• Adirondack Alcohol Ink (Ginger) (Latte)
• Alcohol Solution
• Dabbing Tool, and replacement sheets
• Opalite (used Last)

As you can see my tile is a mess!!!LOL that is fine. I used the mustard seed, Ginger and latte upper top where they are running together.
The red you can see, and the LITTLE drop of green is in the middle. I added Alcohol solution to them all. That way the ink wont be soooo dark. I always test to my scrap paper to see what it will look like before it ever touches the image.

I dabb darker around the edges and lighter towards the face. On the bear I used all colors I believe except green. The greein I used for the stem of the flower.

The sponge brush works well too lift any excess ink off of the image! And to add the Opalite to the top of your image. I use both sides:)

Lastly I used the opalite on top of the bear!!

I wanted to take a picture of all products used!

Thank you for looking and have a wonderful day!!!

PDD Tues & Tutorial on Alcohol Inks !!!

Todays card was done for the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge this weeks challenge is to show the "Earth Rejoicing"

I wanted to show you a tutorial on how I use Alcohol inks on this Rose!Also one of my cards from last weeks challenge was picked for the Shining Star Award for this week!!!

This technique is super fun and easy, and you dont have to worry about getting the shading all wrong. I love the look of the Alcohol inks with this technique and im sure you will too!!

first I used tattered rose and the blending solution on my tool.

Next I took the Fire Brick and more solution on a different pad and dabbed over the rose. The sponge I used to soak up excess ink.

I then used the gold pen to outline the rose!

On the leaves I used a copic marker to color super fast for my base coat. Then dapped with Peeled Paint Distress ink and solution on another new pad.(you can keep these pads a reuse them)


Here is a picture with the Distressed ink and use the sponge to soak up extra.

Picture below shows me adding the gold to the veins of the leaves.

Hope you will give this technique a try, and let me know what you think of it!!! Have fun!!!

Here is a link to the Distressed inks to view other colors, and Marti always has these for super cheap!!!

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!!

Pez-A-Doodle Oct Release

Today is Release day for some wonderful new Digi images from Pez-A-Doodle Designs, and the DT has some wonderful Projects to share with you too!! On my card I used this very pretty NewDigi called Pinecone nesties frame . I love working with this image! The pinecones were fun to color with the copics, and if you have been following my blog you will notice I have worked with some pinecone scrolls stamps withen the last 2 weeks, and they are Beautiful as well, and will work perfect with this image!

I wanted to layer some of the colors from the pinecone nestie frame, but wanted to keep it light. :) So I used some dp from the Basic Grey lemonade pack, and then some K&Company dp, and the dp I really wanted you to see (you cant) is this hollyberry dp that I had leftover, and I only have 3/4 of a piece left:( LOL

Well I also had to share with you Mr.Booters again, he is my baby!!! He has spent alot of time with his mommy crafting:)
