Ink blowing at the Friday Mashup

Just a quick post for now - its late and my bed is calling.....Friday Mashup has a fun technique, that I have done before - quite a while ago  (you can see that card HERE)- its ink blowing. We actually did that when we were kids.....So of course I could not resist and had to make a card:


Its super fast to do. You need glossy paper and some ink and a thin straw. One drip of ink is plenty and the patterns are really fabulous. It takes some time to dry....


Added some black splatters. The sentiment is from STAMPlorations: Subway Art Builders: Create. Since its glossy paper you need to use Staz-on ink.
This is so much fun - go and blow some cards!

Cornelia, I love how your card turned out! I didn't do it on glossy paper like you did. That explains how you got it to spread a lot more and into smaller little streams. Very cool! Thanks for playing with us at the Friday Mashup.

Very pretty card! It also works on regular card stock, I did mine on SU Whisper White. The lines just turn out a big thicker and bolder, thats all :)

Thanks for joining us at The Friday Mashup!

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fiftee...

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful! Mirror Image stamp ,  Two Cats in a Tree If you want a video tutorial on how to do this I can highly recommend you watch THIS VIDEO on youtube. Explains it all in very little time! Or you can see the...
