I Declare........I'm in lurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrve!!!

Well I am in total lurve with Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks ..... I went to a demonstration this morning and I am well and truly hooked......that is hook, line and sinker hooked baby :)

OMG what is there that you can't do with Alcohol Inks? This stuff works on anything you can imagine, we played with it on glass slides, alfoil, glossy cardstock, altered projects such as tins, omg the effects you can achieve are totally amazing.

Normally I'm a sucker for pinks/purples, but seriously, everyone there chose pretty much those colours, so I opted for the browns.

I used Latte, Espresso, Butterscotch and a dash of Silver Metallic (which unfortunately shows as bluish blobs in the scan, sorry about that)

Then I stamped on the surface with Versa Black Ink Cube on the stamp and Voila.....here is the result ....


Needless to say, I was pretty impressed with the results, as generally I'm not a stamper by any means, but now I'm hooked and thinking about stamping with a whole fresh new approach. Have to say a HUGE thankyou to Michelle also for her fabulous skills as a demonstrator and for taking the extra time out to answer my questions about stamping and explaining & demonstrating various "previously unknown" products to me, her time and effort was very much appreciated :)
