I just read about the technique of using ball point pens and a water brush with alcohol to push it around. (
Jennifer Dove Just4FunCrafts) So, off to the store to purchase some ball point pens in colors. I used a stamp from Stampendous called Cling Bowl Bouquet, and some shiny white paper. This was a lot of fun and very different than working with my Copics. I grabbed some leftover pieces of paper and used strips to make a background on a yellow acrylic colored page of my journal. Took some leftover leaves from this morning's card making venture and added some white pencil veins. Used the negative from a die cut of "hello" and colored through it with Distress Inks in Mowed Lawn. Then, I added a hummingbird stamp that I also colored with the pens and alcohol.
This was done for
Journal Workshops, "Something I have Never Done"

Thank you, Elaine. I also have a huge thing of colored gel pens and will be trying that next. It's always fun to push ourselves, I think!
