IMAGINARIUM DESIGNS


Combining Imaginarium Designs with Crafters Workshop mask 
works a treat !!

so many techniques on this page ....
chipboard/paint splatters/ stamping /distressing /inking/ masking/ stitching/ punching ..

 2 pages showcasing the
and different ways to use the chicken wire mask (Crafters workshop )
the BEAUTIFUL VELVET FLOWERS 
are available from 
MEGS GARDEN 
to see all the yummies Meg has available..


I inked the chippies in raspberry Versa color ink and then embossed with clear UTEE
Raspberry ink was also used with the mask ..
I prefer using ink as this gives more control with depth of color 
PROCESS for MASK.
place mask where you want to ink
Dab lightly with ink at first , 
( lifting the mask carefully to see depth of color)
replace the mask and  re-apply ink over the sections again where you want the ink darker .. 
a similar process to water color inks 
begin lighter and gradually add more ink to create darker areas ... easy peasy !!!!

I left the stems of the foliage raw to create definition .


I cut this title and only used happiness .


twigs on board.

thanks for looking and hope I have inspired you 
lots of love and hugz

simple but effective !!!!!

A GUEST INVESTIGATOR at CSI

WOW !!!! I was soooooooooooo excited when Debbi asked me
 to be a guest Investigator on her wonderful site
C.S.I.
thanks so much Debbi, I am thrilled to be here .
Here is my take on case file #14

I used a metal filigree ( altered with gesso and ink.. details below)
from My2angels online store
these are available from My2angels online store 


 above is the antique bronze filigree before I altered it
PROCESS 
swipe with white gesso and dry with a heat gun 
lightly dab with VersaMagic chalk ink - Pumpkin spice and Brilliance Pearlescent Poppy... 
if you have too much ink dab with a dry tissue or a damp cloth
keep doing this process until you achieve the desired color ..
 experiment with different colors it is FUN . 
FILIGREES are available at My2angels online store
