Started off intending to use a plain white background but then thought it needed a bit of colour - inked it. Then thought it looked too new - stamped crackle background. Next thought was that the joins of the crackle needed softening - inked some more. Then realised I hadn't got a plain white background any more. Does this sound familiar or is it only me this happens to?
The image I coloured with prismacolors and sansodor and hit on a great technique, this may be new ground (or maybe not) When you colour and blend with sansodor it leaves an aura around the image which acts like a resist. When you then apply a water based dye ink (Tim Holtz) it resists the dye, where the sansodor is, leaving a sofly blended halo around the image.
So come on fellow crafters do I name this after myself and start blowing trumpets or are you sniggering up your sleeves thinking fancy not knowing that : )
Anyway back to reality, the shopping list:-
Stamps - Stampin up, Rubber Stampede
Colouring Medium - prismacolor and sansodor
Inks - Tim Holtz - Faded Jeans, Weathered Wood, Walnut Stain
Papers - Kanban
Just checked back on the Colour Create site to copy the link and realised there is also a prize up for grabs from Simon Says which also comes with free postage, wow can't be bad.
Have fun all
