Venturing into ink and where it can go a little awry!

Hello friends

Cough cough cough!

I'm currently competing with Bella as I sound like a barking dog!

On the upside I'm up and about which is a great improvement.

Needless to say I haven't been to my cabin but before I was struck 

with the lurgy I did do something inky.

I've done a little step by step, it follows the techniques 

Eileen Godwin shared at her workshop.

 I am very new to this hence mistakes.

I splashed out on one of the Dylusions Art Journals, just the small one.

The cardstock inside is super thick.

Starting with a nice yellow Oxide glow to the middle - Squeezed Lemonade.

Then adding blue - Mermaid Lagoon.

Script stamp in three places and using a diamond and dotty stencil.  

Now those little stencils came free 

with a magazine, all Ranger and to be honest when I first saw them I just

put them to one side. It wasn't until I went along to Eileen's workshop

I began to see the potential for these little beauties!

A Hare stamp - I bought this some time ago and had been itching to use it.

Because it isn't a clear stamp and I'm not the world's best stamper can you spot

the mistakes?  Firstly he needed to be a little higher, central to my yellow glow.

Also there is a black inky edge to the left but because of the style of the page 

perhaps it still works?

I then went rummaging in my stamps and found this curly one,

not sure I've ever used it before.

I did purchase this stencil from Inkylicious - I mentioned it recently,

it creates this wonderful rays/beams across your image

(or possibly more hare whiskers in this case!)

My first finished page in my inky journal.

Not perfect but I like it! 

I also have the fox stamp in this sketchy range so I may be trying that next.

Hope to be back in my cabin later today, once the frost clears a little.

I need to start prepping for workshops coming up!

Take care friends, have a great start to the week.

Keep well and warm.
