Un-Expected but Exciting: Result
At the moment, I'm working on a PINK flavoured book - and it's now at the stage of must have some "pink" paper...so instead of racing out and spending money, I've been lightly painting over paper...
Then at some point I thought I could do with some more "pink" ephemera that could be journaling cards or similar. So an idea that worked once long ago, I thought might work (I know what I did wrong now...but). It didn't work but whilst the "Rolodex cards" were still wet, I decided to see what would happen if...
I dripped some drops of a rather nice pink/purple acrylic ink onto them...wow the effect was gorgeous!
So rushed away and grabbed some alcohol inks - which have basically lost their colour labels...
3 cards are brighter than the rest, they are the "dripped on"
the rest, I either dabbed over, or laid on briefly - the still very wet cards (they aren't dry in this shot)
And that's wen UN-EXPECTED happened...
They aren't pink but that's okay, I have a huge quantity of the cards, and there is always tomorrow to paint some more PINK cards!
And I feel there is a RUSTY journal coming on...in the QUEUE of course!
