I haven't made a card or project for today but I have had a practice for my Stamp Man project for Friday coming. I found this tutorial - http://wn.com/Acetate_and_alcohol_inks which is a resist technique using glossy card DIs and AIs.
I love the colours and the materials I used but the TH birdcage stamp didn't lend itself well to this technique. I will keep it in my 'Inspiration Journal' though as a reminder for a future project. What I did learn is, that next time I try it, I will use black or coloured distressing powder to make the image stand out more.
When I returned from Cyprus I received these fabulous ATCs from The Stamp man ATC swap. My thanks to Torreke, Carol (no blog available) and Anita. I just love them and can see how collecting ATCs from other people can also serve as a source of inspiration for future projects. Yay.
