Playing again with my alcohol inks (AI) and markers on white ceramic tiles- what a blast!<br />
My plan was to create a landscape scene but I did not like the way the colours mixed and where they settled so I was going to douse it with alcohol and start over. Something stopped me. I thought what the heck, play a little more add some tree and then see if it is more palatable. The beauty of AI on tiles is that you can clean with isopropyl alcohol and start over!<br />
Well this is what happened and I love it!<br />

Watched some videos about using white ceramic tiles as the substrate-thought I would give it a try.<br />

Today's homework is from Day 3, a die creates a window for an interactive card. I ended up securing the door open and I am not sure why I did that- but it works!<br />
Here is my Heartfelt Thank you card.<br />

I absolutely love these classes.<br />
<br />
Today's homework is from Day 1- Word Dies to create a background.<br />
<br />
I do not have any word dies but I have a Cricut so I cut the phrase many thanks many times to create a white on white background. I stamped a bouquet of flowers and coloured with Distress Inks and adhered to the card front using pop dots. Finishing touches were gems and pearls of course :)<br />

I do not have Stampin' Up paper or inks so tried my best to match from my stash.<br />
<br />
<b>For SU </b> <b> I used Distress Inks</b><br />
Wisteria Wonder Shaded Lilac<br />
Peach Parfait Dried Marigold<br />
Certainly Celery Peeled Paint and Broken China<br />
Cool Caribbean Broken China<br />
Neutral Vintage Photo<br />
<br />
Stamps are:<br />
Hot Air Balloon from Inky Antics<br />
make a wish from Recollections<br />
Celebrate from WPlus9- Strictly Sentiments<br />
<br />
I made my own cloud stencil from piece of acetate. I Like it. The little critters are popped up on the card using pop dots to give them the impression of them floating in the air. I clear embossed the balloon give it bit of dimension.jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07882528693318913003noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8516908930115052382.post-63106216073281009412015-02-15T19:25:00.000-05:002015-02-15T19:25:00.026-05:00ColourQ Challenge: Black, Red & Neutral (newsprint)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sometimes my mind gets so excited and moving so fast that it does things before I can check what the next step is. Sometimes this flaw of mine works for me and sometimes it doesn't. This time however, I love my mistake. Trying out Donna's card technique, I reached for the clear embossing instead of the white embossing power, but I love the subtlety of this image and my mistake, or rather my interpretation.<div>

To give it a extra little oomph I covered it with Crackle accents from Ranger. The pattern may be a bit busy for the crackle technique but what the heck, the idea is to experiment and STRETCH not only your stamps but your creativity. I am going to make more of these cards.<br />

Just to be a bit different I added the inlay technique (for the wreath but not the flowers) from a previous course at OCC.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MQVGNjFXTAU/U3lROFLCP7I/AAAAAAAAgBo/6TRXi_lTl-o/s1600/DSC_0004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MQVGNjFXTAU/U3lROFLCP7I/AAAAAAAAgBo/6TRXi_lTl-o/s1600/DSC_0004.JPG" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
and I also see a few people thought so at OCC- Watercoloring for Cardmakers.<br />
I tried colouring the stamp <a href="http://itsmyoasis.blogspot.ca/2014/03/combining-inspirations.html">here</a> and was pleased with the results. Now I wanted to try a different technique, something more water-colourish (if that is even a word).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xSK51_6gAz8/U3lTXrVGV5I/AAAAAAAAgB0/RN_BgkwaCiE/s1600/DSC_0006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xSK51_6gAz8/U3lTXrVGV5I/AAAAAAAAgB0/RN_BgkwaCiE/s1600/DSC_0006.JPG" height="267" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
While I am relatively happy with the flower image for a first attempt, as a card or painting it feels awkward to me. It looks like it is just floating. The stamp does not have a stem but I think I need to free-hand one in. I may also need to put more pink and purple in the background or maybe some green.<br />
What ideas do you have to complete this? The purple frame and white card are only temporary.<br />
