Lots of Infusions and lots of alcohol inks and just lots!

I'm running a class for someone's birthday this Saturday and we're going to try out Infusions. Every time I play with these they just create wonderful backgrounds:

Spritzing:


Stamping:


Stencilling:


On Yupo:


And then alcohol inks on Yupo:


You can see I've had a lot of fun!

Thanks for looking!

It's snowing at PaperArtsy...

Over on the PA blog I've got a JOFY snowman card using alcohol inks and Yupo paper.
Here's a sneak peek:



These backgrounds are incredibly easy to make and very addictive - also exciting as you're never too sure what's going to happen.

Thanks for looking!

Here's a sneak peek:





So, if you want to make some different looking cards and learn new techniques at the same time, come and join us!

Old book design....

I've been having a little play with some old books for my next Inky Fingers Class at The Craft Barn and this is what I came up with: the first is a tree with cover as a background:






and the second is a freestanding angel:



I've never tried this before but the folding is very easy and surprisingly quick.
I thought I'd post it here as the group weren't at all sure about this project (don't think they could visualize what I was on about!) Obviously the colours are all variable - it'd be nice to make a sort of woodland tree as well - getting carried away now!

If you fancy joining us and having a go follow the link above.

Thanks for looking!
