Lilyand The Lotus and Smeared Inks 31 Days of Halloween Day 27 Mixed

Welcome to my blog.Day 27 of http://smearedandsmudged.ning.com/page/31-days-of-halloween-5
Thought I would share with you some fun techniques I picked up in journal classes here and there and some fab inks and a awesome stamp I have shared with you before.
I want to thank you all for the Birthday greeting to my Dad I did share them all with him he laughed and thought it was fun.
I made him a card and this is where the sharing begins tonight.
I had some fall leaf stamps in my box I love to use them on journal pages but i had tucked them away for a while...it is fall and time to pull them out.
ok here we go

I love what powerful inks can do and I chose Stampin up inks that were a gift to me from a dear friend .
so let me share the colors and the format I chose,
I chose this one to be my dominate color and I also chose chocolate chip
I chose this to be my balance keeper
This is my light
This is my shadow
now the background stamp I used on top after all was inked and blended
This is the wonderful En Francais stampin up stamp great for journal art :)

now look again
oh here is what I did not tell you lets start with a water color background

yellow orange and brown water colors
Plan your theme
when mixing water for the water colors and ink the water will blend both but also wash away the inked images be careful

ok I have a store addy now for stampin up  http://purplesnickerinkers.stampinup.net

now a special thank you to one of smeared Inks sponsors http://dillybeans.blogspot.com
I am sorry I am just getting this finished.

We're celebrating Stampin' Up!'s 25th anniversary all year long, but during the week of the actual date (October 25th to be exact) we thought we should pump up the party even more. So what better way than a sale on the very products that started it all: stamps, of course!
