Try It On Tuesday - Let's get inky! NEW DT for me!



  I've been asked how I made this -so adding it now : 
I started with some scrapbookpaper. I stamped on it, colored the images, and as you can see from the labels of the post,  I've been sponging with distress inks, applied some Gesso through punchinella, added some tissuepaper with text on it with decoupage, and kept messing around until I was happy with it. 

Most of the times I don't remember how I made it afterwards- it's one of a kind! Won't be able to get it twice the same!


YES, that's right, I am on the DT for TIOT also now, I've been entering in their challenges for a long time; time to get involved LOL 
' Let's Get Inky' is the challenge this fortnight.

    1. I don;'t know whether you will read this, but I started with some scrapbookpaper. I stamped on it, colored the images, and as you can see from the labels I've been sponging with distress inks, applied some Gesso through punchinella, glued some tissuepaper with text on it with decoupage, and kept messing around until I was happy with it.

    2. Thanks Ellie, I'm not sure why my e-mail didn't work for you, I have it set up so that I am not a no-reply blooger and get tons of e-mail so I know it works, not sure why it doesn't for you though. Thanks for the reply :) waving back from the hills of North Carolina
