Ink with a twist

Here are a couple of photos from our Ink with a twist workshop as promised

Thank you for visiting, Happy crafting Dawn x

Ink with a twist

On Wednesday evening and Saturday afternoon, we had a workshop called "Ink with a twist"

Here are the products each person got to take away with them;

3 ink refils (a choice of colours)

The beautiful butterfly stamp called All a flutter

A small piece of felt and

a variety of pieces of card some smooth, some glossy.

We used the felt to make our own ink pad. Firstly stamping the butterfly using stazon on to the felt and then adding drops of ink from the bottles to fill in the whole butterfly. We then inked the butterfly carefully from the felt and then stamped on to our card, making wonderful unique butterflies and everyone's was so different, here are a couple of examples....

....we also used the ink in spritzer bottles for backgrounds and using a Tim Holtz handle and felts put drops of ink on and made beautiful backgrounds with them too....and finally finishing with using our inks as a water paint with a brush. I had a lovely time and I hope all my ladies did too. Thank you everyone for attending. I have a couple of photos of us crafting I will try and pop them on later.
