stressed - not me
No! I'm distress(ed)
Hi everyone
This afternoon I managed to play for a while. I had quite a few labels left over from the last club nights at Mold & Mold II - so I thought I would start using them. So! out came the "Distress" inks & one of my favourite stamps. I stamped the image & embossed with clear EP, then coloured the tag with the distress inks. I like to work with 2 colours & as is standard practice I start with the palest colour first, then come in with the darker complimentary colour. I also sometimes go back over with the lighter colour to tone things down if I feel it is too dark. I forgot to take a note of the colours for each tag. I have taken photos & will blog them tomorrow, by which time I will sort out which colours I used.
Following my rubber stamping workshop yesterday I realised that these days I don't do a lot of resist work - so thought I would round today's play session off with some resist. As I already had the distress inks out I thought I would use those. So I took a piece of glossy/silk card - the sort that Barbara Grey uses & randomly stamped an image with embossing ink & then heat embossed with clear EP. Then I used Crushed Olive all over the card, followed by some Wild Honey at the edges - the WH just warmed the CO a little.
How come I remembered what colours I used for the resist technique? I just had a sudden thought - there must be a chart of colours on the net. So I went & looked & there it is was so I was able to pick the 2 colours that I had used.
It always feels better at the end of the day
when I have had time to play. Oooh - poetry!
Have a great weekend, talk to you all tomorrow.
