I shared the first 2 rows of my canvas with you the other day and today I'm sharing the next 2 rows. Now I'm certainly no neat freak, by any stretch of the imagination, but i have always been a little reluctant to get down and dirty with Distress Inks, well..... you'll be pleased to know I'm now over that, thanks to Jennifer's "finger inking" technique - certainly not one for the faint hearted lol
Row 3 - Distress Ink/Stain techniques
Row 4 - Other than paper and inks techniques
Of course what would the Distress Inks techniques day be without a guest appearance from King Tim Holtz himself with a clever technique using the new Distress Stains - which I'll be trying out as soon as I invest in some more stains - I only have one :(
I mentioned in my post the other day that Jennifer is encouraging students to use what they already have - rather than rushing out to buy new supplies and to illustrate this point.... 2 of the techniques in row 4 used Memento markers, well I only have 2 and they are Tuxedo Black and Rich Cocoa because I use them for touching up stamps that haven't stamped out correctly or for freehand drawing images that I'll be colouring with promarkers. So what did I have instead... well my kids vandalised my old Whispers markers so they got binned a while back... hmmm - well I dusted off my forgotten about Letraset Aquamarkers and wow, they work a treat.
Well I guess I better go and make a start on dinner, then hopefully I'll get the kids off to bed nice and early after their baths tonight so I can snuggle up on the settee with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 that arrived from Love Film yesterday :)

Oh this is stunning, Looked back at the last post too and love them all.
Hope you have fun watching the movie tonight, Love Hxx
Love you rows! I love that we can use what we have on hand and it is forcing me to be creative. I also am using supplies I have had but didn't use as I always got stuck on them. Thanks for sharing your lovely work.
I love the look of these - I'll have to invest in some Distress Stains I think too as I do not have any at all but have a full complement of Distress Inks which are my 'go to' for inking edges & I just love using. My favourite of this set has to be that butterfly on the blue. Hope you enjoyed the Harry Potter.
