Technique Tool Box - Dye Inks

I've been taking the Catherine Pooler online class - Technique Toolbox - Dye Inks (available here)- You get heaps of videos and inspiration on how to use dye inks of all sorts... and it's AMAZING...

 

I am just about finished looking at all the videos and tutorials and have had fun trying out a few of the ideas.

First up is a sponging and masking technique

I used Distress Inks to make my background.  I first made a circle mask for the moon and used a torn paper to mask and sponge the black ink and dark purple ink.  I used the same dark purple ink to 2d generation stamping of the flourishes around the edges.  The fairy was stamped with Versafine ink.  The flourishes and fairy are from a free set (with Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine)  The sentiment is from a Tim Holtz set.

Next up is a 2nd generation stamping technique.  This card is a CASE of Maureen's sample... using same stamp and design but different colours and sentiment.

I used rainbow colours of distress ink.  Maureen used two lines on her card but I used a straight line and a dotted line from Winnie & Walter as is the sentiment.

I have tried another technique... but will leave that for another day.

Thanks for peeking in today... please feel free to leave a comment if you wish.
