Good day all. I have been experimenting with some new ink products. Ken Oliver colour bursts.

Take a look https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOCvGa_UyEs

They are amazing but take some time to get used to. Here is the result of 2 attempts. The lighter speckled background was my second attempt and the first was the panel on the right which I cut up as it was too dark as a whole page of colour.

You puff them on from the bottle and add ink after you have wet the page or you puff them on and then add ink. BEWARE you only need the tiniest amounts and this is where it needs getting used to. Love them for creating backgrounds and Paul Church used them on Hochanda.com  when demonstrating the Clarity Groovi plates.

Top tip. As the ink seems to go everywhere, if you use these directly onto your card without copy paper behind. I have the Ken Oliver craft mat behind instead and then you can spray that after and transfer a print onto card. It works really well and I couldn't believe how much ink I could have wasted if I'd not done that.
Anyway take a look if you like it the inks come in two packs, I have them both but to be honest one would do.

Hope you like it- let me know Stamps are all from Claritystamp.co.uk
I am entering this into all about the boy.

Latest Card

FLOWERS
Well hello again. I've only been gone 2 years!!  Its not that I left crafting, quite the opposite- too busy to blog.
Pathetic excuse I know particularly when Barbara Gray who is uber busy finds time every day.

I am determined though, as retirement looms in the next 2-3 years I need to create a new life and this is the one I have wanted for a long time. Crafting, cards, sewing and indulging my mind into creating things. Dream life eh!  I hope so. Anyway, I digress (I am known for digressing, my husband calls it waffling)
The above card I have entered in the Clarity channel and a new one I discovered today.

All the stamps and masks are Clarity and coloured with spectrum noir alcohol pens and pencils.
