ALCOHOL INK SPLATTER ***CCC22***

Hello to all you lovely people,
on this, not so sunny morning.

It's week 22 of the
COMPENDIUM of CURIOSITIES CHALLENGE,
over at studio L3 blog go check it out.

The technique this week is,
ALCOHOL INK SPLATTER,

Here is my tag,

It's a pretty cool technique to do,
but I will say it's hard to stop,
(less is more),
when that voice in your head says stop, STOP!!!!!,
(I find this hard to do at the best of times,
sometimes my art work is like making pizza,
if its in the fridge, it must go on LOL,)


Here's what the background looked like before
the pizza attack lol,
cool ha!.


here's a bit of an angled close up,

(I have finely found the perfect place in my home
to take the best photos, look how clear they are
(flash off) & natural back light through a blind,
(who new?) lol.

(I wonder if I could balance the kids on the window ledge,
'huummm' that's a thought )lol



The stamps are Wendy Vecchi's,
The ticket & bookplate are are of course Tim Holtz
& the fab little bird is a broach
that I got from a car boot for 50p (bargain hay!)

I thought I would show you my latest purchase,


 it's the bigz die (movers & sharpers alterations)
Tag & bookplate,
I am thrilled with it already,

It came in the mail yesterday,
 I used it to cut the tag for today's project,
the tag is exactly the size I use,(perfect) & I love the little hole reinforce rs
I would recommend it,

can't wait to use the bookplates.
I also brought Tim's Bitty grunge stamp set
can't wait to get started on them.

I'm off to link this post up,
then it's off to my craft room I go.
(I'm making the most of it before I have to go back to work on Monday)

Thanks for stopping by
Back soon,
Kat x.

  6. Hello, lovely Kat! What a stunner of a tag you've created (again!). Those colors are spectacular, and the text and iron fence stamps are great choices. LOVE that little bird getting ready to take flight. This is inspiring and so beautiful!

    By the way, I always have a hard time stopping myself from festooning my tags and cards with every shiny object I can lay my hands on! ;-)

    Have fun with that die!
