Colour Me # 61

I tired another stencil using Jennifer McGuire's technique...lay the stencil down and use a white pigment ink to daub over the stencil.  Then let it dry thoroughly and using the same stencil move it off set just a bit and use the same color ink as the paper...you end up getting what looks like three colors on your card when in fact you only used two inks.

Getting Inky with my BFF

My partner in crime (BFF!!) has been here for almost a week and we have been playing with different techniques...like this one from Jennifer McGuire using stencils.

And this one using distress inks then white pigment ink to get the "Bokeh" effect (found out it is pronounced "Bow Ke" (as in ke-ttle)

And this one is called "Joseph's coat" again using distress inks that are sponged on, then stamp flowers, leaves etc with versamark and then clear emboss them...swiped all over with black ink!  I know, it was scary...then you wipe the black off the embossed images and voila!

 

I will be back with a few more to share...only two more days for my friend to be here...we have to make the most of it and really get inky!
