more playtime - alcohol inks and other fun

Morning lovelies - I do hope you are well and wrapped up warm. I've been playing again - more techniques from the Chemistry 101 course - its great fun and I'm learning all the time!!! First I want to show you a tag that I made using the alcohol ink agates technique - what fun!!!

It features 6 different alcohol inks - the stamp is paperartsy and its done in archival black , the dragonfly is, of course a crafty emblie. I'd like to enter this tag into the following challenges:

ABACanythingbutacard: things with wings
panpasteluk: Try something new
Sunday Stamperpinkleart: Dream
fatpageswithattitude: Add a tag/anything goes
Cupcakecupcakecraftchallenges: ABAC

Here's a card I've made using the same technique but this time using Little Claire stamps:

The stamped image doesn't show up as well in the photo as it does in real life - maybe I should take a photography course?
Finally I've got two more tags - the first using the archival resist technique and the second that involves stamping on an embossing folder - neither is really as I would want it to be but I feel blogging progress/dabbling as well successes is important to me.


So thats all from me today - not sure what tomorrow will bring - we'll all have to wait and see!!!

Thanks for visiting and big hugs from me!
