After a few days of utter chaos and total madness at work, I finally found (made) some time to make a new post.

This is a project I did a week or two ago for Jennifer McGuire's final Holiday Thinking Inking class.



















I used a couple of the techniques that she showed in her 8 week class and I just loved them!
If anyone knows the art of turning a sheet of plain, white cardstock into a piece of art, it's her!

Here are some of the things I experimented with:
- masking with clear embossing powder and distress ink,
- text-stamping with different colours of distress ink,
- making my own pearlized water with perfect pearls and distress re-inkers.

The pearlized water isn't very clear on the picture, you can see it a bit better here:



















Unfortunately, this also shows that I smeared the clear embossing powder while it was still hot. Tried so hard to hide that mistake on the other picture ;)

Gonna catch up on some lost blog-reading time now!! :)
