Another on Yupo with the 99% rubbing alcohol.. Pounced a Distress sponge through some of Tim's stencils with the resist ink, Inked my stamp with the resist ink (The Artful Stamper "Dance"). See card below with the dirty stamp stamping...

Trimmed down and wrote out the word "Dance With Your Heart Out - Enjoy Your Day" using a pointed pen nib and Sumi ink. Adhered edge to edge on a white card.

 

ID: TH Alcohol Resist - Thinking Of You

Using the various dirty resist stamps on glossy cardstock. (the flower which is hard to see is "The Artful Stamper "Painted Flower")

Trimmed down and wrote out the word "Thinking of You" using a 3.8 Parallel pen and Sumi ink in a kind of Italic hand. Trimmed down and adhered to a piece of lavender paper and then onto my white card.

On yupo using the same alcohol inks, stamp and the 99% alcohol as the "Dance Your Heart Out" card.

Bummer you can't see the gold metallic ink all over the piece...

ID: TH Alcohol Ink Resist - Have a Blooming Day.

On yupo using the same alcohol inks, stamp and the 99% alcohol as the "Dance Your Heart Out" card. Used the dirty flower stamp for the above "Thinking of You" card. I didn't like the results of the resist s on this piece, so inked with some black and outlined with a white gel pen.

Trimmed down and wrote out the words using a white gel pen. 

 

ID: TH - Gradient Grunge - Hello

This was the Grunge technique... Press Distress stamp pad onto craft sheet. (sorry can't remember what colors I used...). Dragged the tip of the glass dropper from a Distress reinker "Vintage Photo". Misted with water and pressed 110# Staples white cardstock. Partially dried and pressed into remaining droplets on craft sheet. Repeated a couple more times, semi drying between pressing.

Trimmed down and wrote out the word "Hello" using a 3.8 Parallel pen and Sumi ink. Outlined with a white gel pen.

I thought it was a little dull so sprayed with Perfect Pearls Mists "Perfect Pearls".

Same technique as above card on glossy cardstock. Can't remember the inks used...

Used a pointed pen nib and the Sumi ink for the text.

Again can't remember the colors used...

Using Distress "Picket Fence" acrylic dauber through a TH stencil.

Wrote the words with a 6.0 Parallel Pen and Sumi ink. Outlined with a white gel pen.
