Technique on a Tuesday!
Just a quick post today! Simon Says Stamp and Show have challenged us to show a technique from the fabulous Tim Holtz. This was a no-brainer for me - I had a Ranger masterclass at LB Crafts from the one-and-only Linda Elbourne on Saturday - any tweets showing me doing nothing but drinking tea are photoshopped (just ask Bev or Sara who were
there too!) Anyhow I really enjoyed the "Alcohol Ink on Fragment technique and then stamping with Jet Black Archival Ink and then wiping it off" - there must be a snappier title than that! So I inked a small frame with Picket Fence Distress Stain as a sort of primer, then Peeled Paint Distress Stain and edged it with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
The Fragments were covered in Ginger, Stream and Espresso Alcohol Inks and glued on with Glossy Accents.The stamps are all Tim's and you can't see it in the photo but top right is a bird. Ok, think I might need a bit of therapy about birds! Have you seen the small birdcage I bought off eBay? This is it next to 'she who eats art'! Not quite as small as I'd assumed! Oops!
My next post is a new baby gift - aahhh! Gabrielle x

Love it, and yes I can vouch for you we were extremely busy on Saturday but it was fantastic just like you and your creations.
Hi Gabrielle. Your piece for Simon Says Stamp and Show is wonderful! I love the vivid alcohol ink colors you used. Your technique is perfect. Tim would be proud! Thanks for sharing your work with us at Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge. <3 Candy

Love alcohol ink and love fragments, therefore I love your piece - it's gorgeous! And how fun that you got to have a class with Linda. I've been on her DT for a year and have never actually met her! Terrific job on the TH technique challenge. So happy you joined in the fun with us this week at Simon Says Stamp and Show!
